Parenting in an online world is our topic for the hour on Tuesday’s Access Utah. We’ll be talking with tech-savvy Utah parents Jonathan & Loralee Choate and Dr. Jim Taylor, author of several books, including Raising Generation Tech: Prepare Your Children for a Media-fueled World.

We’ll ask you what your concerns are:.
Do we put too much information about our kids out there on blogs, Facebook etc.?
How do you keep your kids safe in an online environment?


Does today’s technology divert kids away from better pursuits or provide them with valuable skills?
Do you worry about the amount of time your child spends in front of the computer/television/cell phone?
Should you “unplug” your child from the online world?
Do you have a success story you can share?.
