                               RESOLUTION


 
Supporting the goals and ideals of S.M.A.R.T. Parent Day, and inviting 
           State and local governments to recognize this day.

Whereas parents becoming aware of the many new media applications and settings 
        is necessary to keep children safe from cyberbullying;
Whereas children must be educated to recognize mutual respect for themselves and 
        others while using social media to stymie the harms of cyberbullying;
Whereas healthy interpersonal relationships require an appropriate balance 
        between direct and cyber communication;
Whereas parental engagement with children on the appropriate timing and use of 
        cyber and cellular communication prevents and identifies cyberbullying, 
        while building better communities;
Whereas H.B. 315, as passed by the Ohio House of Representatives, would 
        recognize the sixth day of October as ``S.M.A.R.T. Parent Day'', to 
        remind parents to have conversations with their children about ``Social 
        Media Awareness, Respect, and Timing'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) expresses its support for the goals and ideals of 
        S.M.A.R.T. Parent Day;
            (2) encourages families, children, and schools to recognize 
        the importance of social media awareness and have conversations 
        together about their appropriate uses and timing; and
            (3) invites State and local governments to recognize this 
        day.
