Are you texting to stay close with your kids?
An AJC reporter is seeking texting moms to talk about how and why they are communicating with their kids this way.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I know we’ve talked about texting a couple of times, but we have a reporter working on a story and this is what he wants to know:
Not long ago, the popular perception was that texting on mobile phones was just for kids, and that parents were endearingly clueless about how this new-fangled thingie worked.
Now, more moms are turning into texting maniacs. Some with teens figured out it is a great way to keep track of your kids without it seeming like you’re breathing down their necks. Some realized that if they wanted to know what was going on in their kids’ lives, they’d better get texting.
What’s your feeling about texting, and how has it changed? If you’re a texting mom, what are you texting and to whom?
Phil Kloer, a features writer for the AJC, is trying to find some texting moms to talk to for his story. He’s interested to read your comments here, but he’d love hearing from any texting moms at pkloer@ajc.com or 404-526-5448.
