The Digital natives are coming to a corner near you

For those that regularly read my blog, you'll know that my soapbox is technology and families, especially parents getting involved with their kids online lives. I think that it's hugely important that we as parents get involved with our kids lives and as these are becoming increasingly integrated with technology and the web, we need to go and "play" there so to speak.

For some of us, it's not a problem, because we work in the digital space or have a love of all things tech, but for others it's a little harder. So, thanks go to Microsoft for launching Kid's Corner, a new online destination for both parents and kids. Your can read more about it on Frank Arrigo's blog, which is where I heard about it.

MyTake - Read Frank's post on this, because he's hit the nail on the head. Our kids are "Digital natives" and get this anyway, they need our encouragement and support. WE need to remain relevant to them and do our jobs as parents. Make sure you check out some of the links on Frank's post as they're pretty good examples of how we parents can interact with our digital natives!
