Well mumswebbers, what a weekend. We have had some interesting discussions with our kids yesterday trying to explain what a 'hung' parliament is. They think it is like a 'draw' and why don't they just have a rematch? How do you explain to your kids and what do you think of the election results. Interesting times for all hey!

My grade 6er has now become extremely computer literate. I think this may be a genetic trait, however, after a discussion with some other mums the other night the issue of facebook and google was raised. I was surprised to find out that the internet activity really does kick in from this age, and I was concerned. When my older kids went through their laptop phase the internet was a lot younger with not as much social interaction as it has these days. The major thing was being able to look up a term or an article on the web. Now with google being part of dictionary, my grade 6er has a whole new challenge ahead.

I now that trust and explanation and stranger danger are all tools that I can arm my... [Read More]
