Know! To Text Your Tween

A while back I posted THIS email that came from my sons school. I thought it was pretty funny, and I recently received this one:

 

Know! To Text Your Tween

 

Our wireless world has created new opportunities for parents and children to connect; texting your tween is one of them! For many youth, texting is a primary form of communication. And with the start of summer being one of the highest times of substance experimentation and use, the time to connect is now.

 

 

 

Why Text:

 

* Quick, easy & private

* Casual & non-confrontational

* Bridges the generation gap

* Talking your tween's language

* Sets the stage for conversation

 

Ideas on what to text:

Wanna chat? Ice cream's on me!

 

What you may get back:

I do need U. Thx 4 the note!

 

 

Texting is a great way to not only monitor your child, but it shows your support and opens a new line of communication. It doesn't replace face-to-face interactions, but it can help you stay connected.

 

 

 

Learn the lingo and how to text by visiting http://www.TimeToTalk.org (click on Talk Kit, then click More Tools and Multimedia) for a downloadable guide called "Time to Text."
