Do you want to get your family involved on the computer. It is the tend of the future and there is no turning back. Technology is changing and the savvy parent knows it is important for the whole family to know how to use and feel comfortable with the computer.

It is possible with most cable companies to have multiple e-mail addresses. Invite and help your young child to open up and e-mail account to write to grandparents and close relatives. This is the start of teaching them to be responsible about who they send the mail to and what they accept. Check daily to see what is going in and out of their box.

Children with disabilities can use the e-mail account also. It gives them pride to be able to correspond with people they love. Teach them to use the spell check and other useful helps on the computer.

Don’t forget Grandpa. If he is not online, help him with some basic setups and get him to be part of the family e-mail system. It is a lot of fun and it can be life changing for the whole family to build a lifetime bond. Teach your children early the importance of communication.
