It seems like practically everyone lves online nowadays. So many people nly visit life and live online. The nline community is only growing bigger and bgger every day. I recently watched a cmmercial talking about the importance of keping a close eye on your chldren. People think that because they are in thir rooms that they are safe, but the trth is if they have access to the nternet, they can meet more people in fve minutes than you probably have met in yur entire lifetime.

We live in a wrld of a million plus myspace frends and video blogs and online cht rooms, blogs and journals. Everyone pts their business all over the wb, some in hopes of someday bcoming famous. Some in hopes of smeday making more friends. And others stll just looking to talk to nyone who is willing to listen.

Tht is why it is that mch more important to spend time wth your kids. Good quality time, not jst time in front of the tv. Nw, don't get me wrong I njoy kicking back with the kids and wtching all the best prime time tlevision shows, but it is about so mch more than that. You can hve some time just veggin and hnging out. But there also has to be tme spent building, training and developing yur kids into responsible adults. Life is not jst about who you are and wht you will be. It is bout what you have done and whre you came from. I have rcently adopted a new motto, "You cn't buy memories." That is how I now lok at life. I am not jst raising my kids, I am bilding memories, and the substance and nture of those memories is up to me. Wll I build in them memories thy will never forget, or memories tht they wish they could forget.

Think back to your child hod and remember playing outside with frends. Leaving in the morning when the sun cam up and cming home when the streetlights went out for dnner. We don't live in that wrld anymore, the streets are a dngerous place for kids to be no mtter what neighborhood you live in. So prents feel secure with their kids in thir rooms talking to their friends on the nternet rather than standing out on the crner. It's okay to let them hve an online experience and friendships, but mnitor them closely and remember nothing can rplace the real thing.
