The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There's just a lot of distraction, a lot of competition for the parent's voice to resonate in the children's ears.

Children who use the Internet are much better informed than when I was young. Use this to your advantage.

Kids are finding out about the potential for discovery online from other sources; many of them have computers at home, for instance, or their friends have them.

I don't know, but I think kids just want to be listened to, so I want to make sure I do that.

Kids today know way more than you think they do, with the Internet and 500 TV channels.

Access by kids to the Internet should be like kids breathing clean air.

If you look where kids are spending time on the Net, they may have all the information in the world, but they're not accessing it.

Parents have the ability to screen their children's Internet access at home.

Avoid demonizing television, computer games, and new technologies. Electronic media may compete for kids' attention, but we're not going to get kids reading by badmouthing other entertainment. Admit that TV and games can do things books can't.

The break down for kids is communication. Music helps bring that bond.
