Mommy of Many Show #25: Kids and Texting .m4a - a podcast by Jen Lang

This week's show is my take on the whole texting thing. I see where it comes in handy, but more and more it's becoming the way that our kids communicating with each other. I feel that kids who are younger than high-school age still need to build social and personal relationships before taking on the nuances of the language of texting. Being able to say things to people in the impersonal world of texting, where the tone and, often, meaning of your words can be misconstrued opens the door for kids to feel "safe" in saying things to each other that they wouldn't normally say person. I know that there are other arenas where this is also true, ie; email and IM, but it seems that texting is the preferred form of communication right now, so that's what I chose to focus on. 

Your questions, comments and show ideas are always welcome. Thank you for listening to the show and for visiting MommyofMany.com. You can email me at Jen@MommyofMany.com and until next time, I'll be here, Doing the Dance of the Children
