And I always say sign up for MySpace and see what your kid is doing. Be his friend on MySpace. Know what your child is doing online because you're going to know more there than you'd ever know when he goes to school.
I may be the only mother in America who knows exactly what their child is up to all the time.
Parents cannot be in the same physical space as their children at all times.
When you put a camera in your kid's bedroom, you're literally inviting the entire connected world, the entire Internet into your child's safe space, if you will.
You develop a third eye where you kind of know where they are in a room at all times but no matter how vigilant you are as a parent, at some point, you'll look around a room and can't find them and there's a searing pain that goes through your body.
I think it's up to the parents to discern what their child is watching on television.
Parents should monitor their behavior, know who their friends are, and keep track of what they do.
Most of our children have access to Internet-accessible technology, yet most of us are actually not paying much attention to what they're doing online.
I would like to see every parent either directly - if they are comfortable with the technology - or through a personal tutor, being able to access real-time information about their child.
Parents need to dial in and know what their kids are doing.
I haven't been really guilty of being an uber helicopter parent; I took the baby monitors out when they were three months old because I thought that was an invasion of their privacy.
As parenting goes, knowing the whereabouts of one's children is pretty fundamental.
Yeah, it's every parent's worst nightmare, to lose connection with your children, to not fully engage with them or have an understanding of what crowd of people they're mixing with, what they are watching online.
I am on Facebook, but mainly as a way to spy on my children. I find out more about them from their Facebook pages than from what they tell me.
