Spark and Parenting Place have launched an online course designed to help parents navigate social media.

New research has revealed over one third parents feel out of their depth, and nearly one in five have to navigate meltdowns or arguments in order to manage devices.

Parenting Place coach Sheridan Eketone says many parents have claimed they're feeling 'overwhelmed' with the new developments in social media and this course will help them manage the risks.
