I'm not a tech-savvy parent. I communicate with my children via the old-media format called yelling.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Instead of yelling at a TV set, I get to talk.
As parents we're not nearly as computer literate as our children are.
If you're not yelling at your kids, then you're not spending enough time with them!
In terms of social media, I try to have my voice heard loudly in the cacophony of other influences whether from television and the Internet or social media... I want my voice to be heard in terms of the standards and values that I try to pass on to my kids.
If you want your kids to listen to you, don't yell at them. Whisper. Make them lean in. My kids taught me that. And I do it with adults now.
I hate the thought of my children being glued to a screen. Children only play on computers all day because their parents let them.
There are so many things calling you toward that computer or TV. You forget, we're a family. We're all supposed to spend time together and talk.
Kids, help your parents if they don't know how to use a smartphone.
I grew up in a physical world, and I speak English. The next generation is growing up in a digital world, and they speak social.
I'm well in touch with my family, my children. I keep them on my answer phone, so if I want to hear one of their voices, all I have to do is punch it up and it will be there.
