First up, Nielsen/Pete Blackshaw's Pocket Guide to Social Media and Kids:"In the hands of children and tweens, today’s cell phones are primarily used as text messaging devices, cameras, gaming consoles, video viewers, MP3 players, and incidentally, as mobile phones via the speaker capability so their friends can chime in on the call."
"A study due out next week from the Parenting Group found that while moms are avid web and social-media users, they still turn to family and friends first, whether by phone, e-mail or in-person, when making decisions about product purchases."
i make it a point to keep an eye on what the top trends are on twitter. most people don't care. most people don't even know what twitter is. on the other hand, millions do. i always throw out paris hilton, the jonas brothers and brittney spears. they are trends that are based in nothing but gossip and wanting to be like the rich and famous. however, there are always a few trends that catch my attention. there is a passage of scripture that says this...
proverbs 22:6 | train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
what stands out to me the most is that the passage says "when he is old". that is comforting. i have a good bit of time to get things right. we all have a good bit of time to work things out. we may stray, we may even try to run -- but mama's voice will hunt and haunt us. that isn't a joke. now, you may go on twitter and see a bunch of sarcastic posts from kids in the their teens and adults in their 20s and 30s, but don't think for a minute that their mama isn't in their head every single day...for better or for worse.
moms and dads set the stage in the home. but it is the mom that i think has the most profound impact. that 9 months in the womb make a bond tighter than we can comprehend. the attitudes, outlook, words, actions -- all of these things combine to train a child whether you want them to or not. a wise guru friend of mine, barry grecu, once said, "children are the worlds best recorders and the worlds WORST interpreters." so true. barry, i might petition that one to be a proberb itself. i pray that i don't have to wait until i'm old to fully grasp the wisdom of my mama. she did it right.
A big trend seems to emerge: moms using their iPhone to shop and entertain kids. TechCrunch and ReadWriteWeb have a piece about it.
Here is a selection of apps to make it even clearer
The other interesting bit: Moms lend their iPhone to their kids to play with > imagine the impact on new generation and their desire/behaviour shaped around this device.

We know that Moms Just Wanna Have Fun. When you have a little "me" time, what do you like to do best and what products are involved? In other words, what are your must-have products for a good time? Create a collection with these products and enter our contest! Anything goes: products for knitting, hiking, reading or baking. This Collection is all about you! (Note: margaritas do not count as products.) To Participate:1. First, think through the last 48 hrs. Any time-stealers come to mind? Facebook, Twitter, TV, email, Internet, phone calls, or texts? Make sure the enemy isn't robbing you of God-moments by offering a "harmless" substitute.
2. Time with the Lord takes intentional planning when you have a full, noisy, busy house. Some days, gather your kids around and read a passage to them. If you can make it interesting to listen to, you might get through several verses. Write a few verses out and leave them in the kitchen, laundry room, or car so you can contemplate as you cook, fold, or wait for your kids.
3. Place Bibles in several spots around your house so anytime you do get to sit down you can snatch a verse or two to ponder.
4. Use the first few minutes of nap time to get rest for your spirit. You probably won't be reading chapters or books at one sitting, but the Lord can use even snippets to instruct and encourage your heart. If you have kids who no longer nap, make a quiet zone where they can read or color while the little ones sleep and you get refreshed. Occasionally, this will actually work!!
5. Escape for a few minutes if you can after your husband gets home or right after dinner. I have had quiet times on picnic tables at the park, in my car at Sonic, on my driveway sitting in my car, and in my laundry room or closet.
6. Practice God's presence "in the midst" of your crazy days. He doesn't leave because your life is hectic. He can minister grace to your heart as you comfort that child or chop veggies for dinner or sort dirty socks. Christ knew what it was like to wash dirty feet. He is not absent when we are surrounded by lots of them! Remember that the Lord had many moments when He sought to draw apart to seek the Father. Sometimes that happened, sometimes He was moved with compassion and returned to the multitudes. His heart was to do the will of His Father every moment of every day, but He didn't live apart, He lived in the midst.
7. Ask the Lord to give you wisdom and discernment as you discover what will work for your family. Since it is God's will for you to know Him, ask Him to enable you to creatively pursue that in this season of your life. God's Word is eternal. The lives of those who come to know Him are eternal. Houses, stuff, and even time will all pass away. We won't regret time invested in His Word and in raising our kids to love Christ.
Proverbs 2:1–10 says:
My (daughter), if you will receive my words
And treasure my commandments within you,
Make your ear attentive to wisdom,
Incline your heart to understanding;
For if you cry for discernment,
Lift your voice for understanding;
If you seek her as silver
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
Then you will discern the fear of the LORD
And discover the knowledge of God.
For the LORD gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk in integrity.
