The technology and social media is moving very fast so it compounds the gap that you refer to. The CafeMom report is good to see. We need more like this. We also need more active parents like you playing an activist roll and sharing your experiences. I admire your work with your popular blog and websites (http://www.PleaseStoptheRollercoaster.com and http://www.ParentingTeensInfo.com). These sites are great and feature all sorts of valuable content including free parenting articles, podcasts, tips and newsletters. Great stuff. You are so right Sue.

I must say, their data and results don't map to the anecdotal evidence I see in my work with parents of teenagers. There are many parents out there with teens who don't participate in the online world nearly enough. It scares me because the result is their teens don't get the guidance they need. There is a huge technology gap between some parents of teens and their kids; this seems to be less true with the parents of younger kids, though. But those of us who work and thrive in the online world need to remember there are still many who haven't yet gotten fully onboard. Jeff; thanks for linking to this report – very important info.
