Raising kids in an online world
- noonespecial 18y agoI am eternally grateful that my parents didn't try to (as one commenter put it) "limit my screen time" without bothering to find out what it was on those screens that I found so interesting. As my own small ones approach the digital rubicon, I've discovered some news that may be troubling to some parents. If you're going to parent your kids in an online, facebook, twitter, world, you're going to have to go there with them; At least far enough to get some idea of what its all about. I'm not sure what advice to give people who laugh at their own inability to figure out that "text stuff the kids these days are crazy over". One the one hand, I hope I can keep up. On the other, I live here, and can't wait to show them the cool stuff.
