Tech Tip: How to Text Message
Your Comments:That's as good an outline on how to text as I've seen. But, there is an easier, more effective way, too. WuduPlz (Would You Please) is a new, free web service built to help parents text. Why? Because it can teach teens and preteen cooperation, responsibility & commitment. OK...and to get them to what they are suppose to do. (Never easy because, well, they're kids…) It uses text messaging--a proven 21st Century way to connect with kids. Here's the link: http://www.wuduPlz.com Here's our YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd-8UcdNalU Sure, as our web site says, it's easier and faster texting if you're at your computer. But, to make it more useful, WuduPlz can also deliver messages LATER to provide useful reminders. As one reviewer noted, with WuduPlz, "each family member with a cellphone is carrying around a little alarm clock that Mom or Dad can set to go off with a little note. Very handy." We haven't seen anything like this, anywhere. We selected the name WuduPlz carefully. Teenagers should not feel victimized or punished, says Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg, adolescent medicine specialist at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “You want them to understand that the freedoms they get are directly related to how they demonstrate responsibility.” WuduPlz is designed to help parents teach this lesson. Security is super-tight on this. WuduPlz is safe. And it’s free. Sure, it's for parents and managing a household--but, it works for anyone who is managing teenagers and pre-teens on a regular basis. And, yes, you can send messages to your spouse or roommate, too. It only takes a minute to sign up. You'll need to have your cellphone handy. Check it out and let me know what you think.
