Parenting: Is Technology Good for the Family?

A new survey conducted by Parenting Magazine and BlogHer, set to be published in September’s issue of Parenting Magazine, found that 88% of moms want to be “up on new technology” so they can monitor their child’s online activities.

Although only 5% of the 1,032 moms surveyed believe that their child is addicted to online activities, there were still quite a few concerns.  62% of the moms are concerned that their child may be engaging in inappropriate online communication with adults, 57% are worried their child may be threatened by cyberbullying, 56% are worried about their child becoming involved in sexting, and 53% of moms are concerned that their child will become addicted to the Internet.

Concerns aside, however, most of today’s mom’s believe that technology is a plus for families and helps them to stay connected to their children.
