Parents who want a way to talk so little ears can’t hear have moved beyond s-p-e-l-l-i-n-g in favour of a new kid-proof system: the text message.
Email, text and instant messaging have become the go-to technology for parents on family outings or at the end of a long day, when mom’s chilling on the couch in front of the TV and dad’s reading in the bedroom more than a whisper away.
“There was a time when I would get really upset if I was IMed from another room in the house. Now it’s a complete parental survival tool,” says KellyAnn Bonnell, whose kids are 10 and 15.
