Our Kids and Technology--What are we to do?

TECHNOLOGY: My friends "The Internet is Here".
It has opened up a brand new world that us parents do not understand. Forget monitoring what your kids watch on TV, forget blocking programs--just forget it all.

Solution? Talk to them, explain the dangers and problems that can be; tell them, the "cool make out stuffs" are adults warp minds trying to make a buck off their innocence. The cheap sex and all those pretend wonderful make-outs moments are nothing more than what they are--cheap sex and phony wonderful make-outs.

Explain the consequences of irresponsible behavior are: Aids, transmittable diseases and unwanted pregnancy; there is more, tell them about the sleepless nights--getting up three, four time a night to feed the kid or kids. And, remind them it gets worse--I will let you finish the "information-session.

Remember parents, kids today are smarter than you. Some of us parents cannot communicate using emails, much less blog, some of us can't even use a computer except for turning it on and off. You block, and the kids will unblock; try sneaking up on the kids --forget it--they constantly monitor you--the channel will change as soon as they hear foot steps. The only way to get your message across, is to talk, reason, and present them with facts--they like facts. The worse thing a parent can do is to "Bull Shit" their kid(s).  Don't bull shit them and don't try to force or beat them into submission; doing so will only lead to disastrous consequences.
