About The Book
El lado oscuro de las redes sociales
una guía para padres para proteger a los niños
“El lado oscuro de las redes sociales: Una guía para padres para proteger a los niños” is the Spanish version of “The Dark Side of Social Media: A Parent’s Guide to Protecting Children.” This is Sarah El Yaman’s essential resource for modern parents raising kids in the digital world. While social media offers connection and entertainment, it also exposes young users to risks like cyberbullying, inappropriate content, privacy breaches, and screen addiction—issues many adults struggle to monitor, let alone prevent.
This book goes beyond surface-level warnings, offering a balanced, practical approach to online safety. Sarah El Yaman combines research with real-life examples to help parents understand the digital landscape their children navigate daily. She provides clear guidance on setting boundaries, recognizing warning signs, and fostering trust-based conversations about internet use—without resorting to fear tactics or extreme restrictions.
What sets this book apart is its actionable advice. Instead of just outlining dangers, it equips parents with tools—from privacy settings to healthy screen-time habits—to create a safer online environment. The tone is supportive, acknowledging the challenges parents face while empowering them to take proactive steps.
Also available in Spanish as “El lado oscuro de las redes sociales: Una guía para padres para proteger a los niños.”

Parenting in the digital age feels like navigating uncharted territory. Kids are tech-savvy, often more than the adults in their lives, leaving parents playing catch-up on the latest apps, trends, and hidden risks. This book bridges that gap.
Sarah El Yaman doesn’t just list problems—she offers solutions. You’ll learn how to spot subtle signs of cyberbullying, manage screen time without constant conflict, and discuss online safety in a way that resonates with kids (rather than pushing them away). The advice is adaptable, whether your child is just starting to explore social media or is already glued to their phone.
Most importantly, this book avoids extremes. It doesn’t demand banning technology or spying on your child. Instead, it promotes awareness, communication, and practical safeguards. For parents feeling overwhelmed or out of their depth, this guide is a lifeline—clear, relatable, and packed with strategies that actually work.
For Spanish-speaking families, the same invaluable advice is available in the Spanish edition: “The dark side of social networks.” Because protecting kids online is a universal challenge, no matter the language.
