However, I do see my friends' kids growing up around me and they all seem to manage quite well throughout the whole internet maze and all its issues. I think good communications with your kids is the most important thing. That SNL ad was hilarious though!Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529827915262851910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-67109371366963300032011-03-01T14:14:51.144-05:002011-03-01T14:14:51.144-05:00I child has a right to privacy.

It seem modern parents do not limit that enough if you believe the statics that show children spend so much time on their electronic toys it contributes to the national obesity problem.Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-34093953368633502522011-03-01T07:43:14.971-05:002011-03-01T07:43:14.971-05:00Yes, I do have a blog - I just started it recently...Yes, I do have a blog - I just started it recently.

We are about the same age,and I also did not have to deal with my children in the electronic age. My condundrum was whether or not to read my daughter's diary. I chose not to and I would make the same decision again today. I am on facebook with my children and while I don't always approve of what they post, I respect their right to do so. <br />By the way, I really enjoy your blogs, they are always interesting.dottiebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076199635918456226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-19714265013296469752011-02-27T12:38:26.202-05:002011-02-27T12:38:26.202-05:00Every situation is so different.

I I had concerns I'd not hesitate to sleuth and then confront.<br /><br />It was so much easier raising children before cyberspace. So many things have changed.<br /><br />PS. I made your chicken with barley soup that you once posted on Saturday Soups!<br />Um Um Good!

I always told our daughters I would never punish them for coming to me with the truth.

They do say there's an app for everything! <br /><br />Of course, I don't have to deal with this regarding Sam, but see my sister struggling with it all the time. Her 16 year old just started driving and she's been tempted to look into a GPS on the car so that she knows where he is, but I think there is a point where you simply have to trust that you've taught them right from wrong and pray that they make right decisions.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14057094040409159429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-44671197479624868972011-02-25T22:06:46.571-05:002011-02-25T22:06:46.571-05:00I'm so glad my kids did not have Internet.

It must make parenting so much more difficult.<br /><br />While I would never read my child's diary, I would definitely have checked the computer for the sites he or she was visiting.<br /><br />Back in the "old" days, the car full of kids forgot that Mom was even there and would talk rather freely about what was going on in their lives. I learned a lot on those carpooling trips. Now, the kids sit in the car and text one another so Mom has no idea what's going on.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-84970725061456459612011-02-25T20:11:51.616-05:002011-02-25T20:11:51.616-05:00To lead by example is the best solution that I can...To lead by example is the best solution that I can think of for any problems that arise. Sleuthing will just cause resentments and sneakiness on the part of the kids...at least those are my feelings about it.Ginniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749133391349265563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-25774897161514470762011-02-25T09:24:50.429-05:002011-02-25T09:24:50.429-05:00I don't think it's a good idea to go sleut...I don't think it's a good idea to go sleuthing without probably cause.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.com
