Technology Etiquette
Policies about technology differ by school district; some students are allowed to bring smartphones and tablets to class while other kids are lucky to have access to a computer lab. But one thing is clear: New technology is blurring the lines when it comes to old-fashioned manners. First and foremost, teach children that "technology is a privilege, not a right," Shaw says. Second, help kids practice self-control. "Don't let kids use electronics in place of spending time with a person," she says. When talking to someone in person, though, kids should not talk while being preoccupied with a gadget; it's bad manners to divide attention. When communicating via technology, kids should never write anything (on the phone, in an email, or on a social-media site) that they wouldn't say to someone's face. "If your child has the ability to use electronics, teach her at a very young age, that whatever she posts can be seen by anyone at any time and can stay out there forever," Symington says.
