[quote=Anonymous]Mom of 18yo daughter here -- I remember her telling me about my friend's 14yo who had just gotten on text, Snapchat and Instagram and was making what were --from her perspective-- mistakes. She said "He's in social media potty-training and the s&*t is going everywhere. He'll learn to contain it eventually, though." Sounds like that's what's happening with your daughter? It's good you're doing what you can (as an old person lol) to try to help with this potty-training. Your fears that she will alienate friends are legitimate, but it sounds like she has some friends who can model whatever proper texting behavior is for their age (I readily admit I have zero clue). At this same stage I was constantly giving my kids the (not) Mark Twain quote about remaining silent and being thought a fool vs speaking and removing all doubt. It got in for my son... my daughter is TBD...[/quote]
