It's catching on...

I had the news on the other evening while cooking dinner for the fam. I typically don't have the chance to listen very closely to the evening news (with the cooking and the screaming and the running through the house and the barking dog and the, well, you get the idea), but for some reason, a segment came on and it was like the TV automatically turned up its volume for me.

Meet Katie Greer of KL Greer Consulting. One of our local channels had her in studio for an interview. She's fabulous, and it is not just because we share the same name! She has great advice for monitoring our kids' technology use, including social media. She consults, speaks and holds programs geared at just about every age group.

This isn't going away -- this thing called the Internet and social media. And it is up to us as parents to be even more involved in our kids' digital lives than ever. There are resources out there...and we are not alone. We are all in this together!
