Hi everyone! I just wanted say a special thanks to Melissa Taylor for promoting my blog! I’m really exited for all my new readers. I tried
to respond to as many comments as I could but didn’t get to all of them. I did
read each of them and wanted to say thank each of you for stopping by!
Ok so like I’ve been reading through all the comments from
the Tweens and Texting post. This is a BIG topic and I was glad to hear all
your feedback. So, then I talked to my mom and we thought it might be good to
talk more about social media and tweens. You know like twitter, facebook or skype.
Then we came up with this idea called:
The SHE says, MOM says Segment
On Wednesday my blog post will be a question and answer
session with my mom. We will both have the same questions and will each write
our answers for you to see.
But, I need your help to come up with the
questions. Here’s an example of the type of question I’m looking for:
“How old should you be to have a facebook account?”
I’m pretty sure we will have VERY different responses. Like,
I would say NOW but I’m almost positive my mom would say like when I’m… 42. So
it should get pretty interesting (if you know what I mean.)
PLUS, super excited about this… anyone who leaves a question
in the comment section will be entered to win a $10 iTunes gift card. All
comments must be in by Tuesday night at 12pm EST.
I will announce the winner on Wednesday.
So, if you’re a mom, tween, grandma, or if you have a tween
in your life leave a question about tweens and social media (facebook, twitter,
skype, texting, and etc.) and you will be entered in the drawing for a $10 iTunes
gift card!
Who wouldn’t want free stuff? So leave a question! J
Hey Taylor! Great topic this week! I'm your Grandma and I just started
ReplyDeleteusing Facebook and still have not yet mastered it
completely!! The only reason I check Facebook is because
your dad Kris and Uncle Craig say I miss sooooo much
if I am not on Facebook. Ever since Craig, Dawn, and Mason
were here visiting, Daddy went to Guatemala on his
mission trip and you started your blog I have been
on Facebook and TatorTots Thoughts daily!! I still believe that
a phone call is the most personal and the best mode
of communication but I was a tween in the 60's!! My question is. Is a
phone call the most personal and best way to communicate? Love
you Taylor! Grandma
Hi Taylor, What a cool blog! My question is how often should a parent monitor their tween's social media account? Daily? Weekly? At random intervals?
ReplyDeleteJust curious,
Debra
Your blog is so fresh and original! Love it.
ReplyDeleteHere’s my situation with questions: In order to participate in social media an active tween normally needs a smart phone. My daughter wants an iPhone, but it is over $200 and well, the monthly amount is high, too, for the two year contract. I’m sure that isn’t news to you!
Anyway, how is the financial end of this technology handled in your family? Did your parents explain the contract with you? What would you do if it was decided the cost was no longer able to be afforded?
Hi Taylor. Another great idea. What is the social etiquette in checking text messages while you are with another person. Hugs. Mimi
ReplyDeleteHow about: Is it fair for parents to know the passwords for all of their kids' accounts?
