Recently, she gave a talk to some of the parents about raising children in this digital age. I thought it might be helpful to share some of the information she provided.

　　First, Some Startling Statistics

　　The following facts are found in the Kaiser Family Foundation's Generation M2: Media in the Lives of 8 to 18-year-olds, a 2009 report about a national survey undertaken by the KFF.

　　The average 8 to 18-year-old spends 7 hours and 38 min per day using media. ("Using media" is defined here as listening to music on a cell phone or MP3, watching TV, playing video games, or using a computer. It does not include making calls or texting on a cell phone.)

　　Boys use more media than girls, mainly because they play more video games.

　　65 percent of children in this age group have a handheld game player.

　　61 percent of them have an iPod or MP3 player.

　　17 percent have their own laptop.

　　The average 13 to 17-year-old sends more than 2,000 text messages per month.

　　And finally, 2 to 5-year-olds are the age group showing the largest increase in media consumption. (It is not uncommon, in preschools nowadays, to see iPads and iPods, as well as computers.)

　　Digital Citizenship

　　More and more schools are teaching their students digital citizenship, defined as "a framework for understanding appropriate and responsible technology use." But if a child is to gain a thorough understanding of what it means to be a good citizen on the Internet, parents must also become knowledgeable about these skills and participate fully in the family's use of digital technology.
