This show was originally posted after Kateri and JJ's first year away at school. Now, they are each headed away for their 4th years! We've learned a lot and gotten used to the changed dynamics of kids coming and going in the household.

This week I talk about sarcasm. It's all around us and our children. The kids certainly learn to decipher the code of how sarcasm is used, but as small children, I think it's important that we stay away from using it. When children are young they need to be able to get a straight forward answer to their questions.
info_outlineThis week's show is my take on the whole texting thing. I see where it comes in handy, but more and more it's becoming the way that our kids communicating with each other. I feel that kids who are younger than high-school age still need to build social and personal relationships before taking on the nuances of the language of texting. Being able to say things to people in the impersonal world of texting, where the tone and, often, meaning of your words can be misconstrued opens the door for kids to feel "safe" in saying things to each other that they wouldn't normally say person. I know that there are other arenas where this is also true, ie; email and IM, but it seems that texting is the preferred form of communication right now, so that's what I chose to focus on.
