Want to know what keeps us up at night? Chorizo burritos with a jumbo side order of queso. But besides that, it’s the thought that our kids are able to jump on Messenger anytime they want, and have long in depth conversations with whomever they want. It’s not that we don’t want them to be able to explore global boundaries, but we don’t think 11 years old is a good age to be introduced to deposed Nigerian princes or Nikita the buxom Russian who really wants to meet!

(We like to imagine they’re real and are secretly sad that we don’t accept their message requests.)

Facebook seems to have come up with a pretty killer solution. They’ve developed Messenger Kids which allows parents to have control over who is able to contact their kids, and who their kids can contact. While we haven’t tried it out yet, we love the idea of being able to know who’s chatting with our little kiddos because online safety is hard to manage. They are able to not only chat, but video chat one-on-one or in groups. They are able to send picture and video messages to people on their approved lists and access a slew of approved emojis, drawing tools and super fun masks to use during the chats. It was developed with input from parents, kids and online safety experts.

Now I’m just mad that I can’t use those masks during business meetings on Slack. Why talk budgets normally when we can talk budgets as Tyrannosaurus’?? Adulting sucks sometimes.
