Parenting or (digital) public humiliation?

December 4, 2012 By Anne 2 Comments

After I wrote "The trust factor in parenting online kids," I read an insightful commentary by parent, author, and professor Lynn Schofield Clark in Psychology Today – "Disciplining Teens for Online Mistakes" – which touches on monitoring as well as the issue of parenting in public that I wrote about recently too. We definitely resonate, but Lynn is a scholar, writing a neutral piece that describes … [Read more...] about Parenting or (digital) public humiliation?

For progressive parenting: Great book

October 4, 2012 By Anne Leave a Comment

It takes a team of strong firefighters to manage and direct a fire hose with all the pressurized water coming through it. That's a good metaphor for today's media, which seems to come at us at that level of pressure but less regulated than ever because produced by literally anybody; it's user-driven, and for teens the most interesting (and challenging) parts are self- and peer-driven. So, more and … [Read more...] about For progressive parenting: Great book

‘You’re (digitally) grounded!’

September 8, 2010 By Anne Leave a Comment

Instead of grounding their kids for bad grades or behavior, more and more parents are taking away the cellphone, laptop, or Xbox, the Washington Post reports. " In a report earlier this year that captured part of the trend, 62% of parents said they had taken away a cellphone as punishment," it adds, citing data from the Pew Internet & American Life Project. The article tells of how Ian, then a … [Read more...] about ‘You’re (digitally) grounded!’

Moms’ tech concerns & countermeasures: Survey

August 11, 2010 By Anne 4 Comments

To me, the most interesting slide in the BlogHer/Parenting magazine national survey of moms is the one about the difference between their fears vs. their kids' experience of what they fear: Mothers' biggest concern, quite naturally, is inappropriate communications with an adult online (62% share this concern), but only 1% of moms surveyed said their kids had experienced such communication.
