Exposing these, children suffer from their adverse effect not only in their childhood years but also their adult life.

Horst points out that many parents feel that new media and technology are investment for a child’s future and that it can be leverage for “good grades and behavior” (2007, p. 150). While these are great motivators, there are still problems which crop up between parents and their children in regards to their online world. What many children (mainly teenagers) and parents do not agree upon is how much they should post about themselves online. Boyd brings up a great point that teens are often faced with publishing public thoughts vs. creating private spaces which their parents cannot see (2014, p. 54). Many parents feel that they should have access to what their children publish online,

Bullying has always been a problem amongst students, but digital media has created a whole new form. There have been countless suicides as a result of cyberbullying. If young people have a thorough understanding of the consequences of digital media then cyberbullying is likely to decrease. Social media can beneficial in connecting people together and allowing them to build relationships, if young people are educated they are more likely to know how to communicate with one another in a positive way (Dotterer).

Language will flourish and children will now have the ability to have conversations and tell stories about the things they imagine. While children are learning how to use their words during symbolic

As the limitation of the cognition and maturity, children learn language mostly from the outer environment stimulation created by their parents, educators and peers. The quality and quantity of language input, functioning as the stimulation, by interacting with the people around the children have a positive influence on children’s language learning (Bradley and Caldwell 1976; Clarke-Stewart 1973; McCartney 1984; and NICHD 2000). Therefore, it is beneficial for both parents and teachers to know how the interaction can improve the children’s English proficiency. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to introduce the role of the interaction in early L2 development and the implication of the interaction of children in education. This paper is going to introduce the topic in three aspects.

The pre-school curriculums essentially help the children to succeed in their future through a good start of learning. What are the best reasons your child should attend Pre School? 1.

Every child is different in their own way and it's important to think about children, you need to think about children as an individual and also the children as a group- you need to think about watch child’s interactions, personalities and their style As practitioner's we need to share information. This information can be with setting staff, supervisors and even with parents. We need to share children's information with parents because these are children’s first educators and their first learning comes from home where they engage with children to extend their learning. “There could be barriers; some busy parents want to rush away without spending time conversing” (http://rightfromthestart.wordpress.com/2012/11/02/why-sharing-information-with-parents-is-important-in-early-years-classrooms-and-how-to-achieve-it/) 13/12/2013 linking to the quote it is true that some parents can be very busy when you want to talk to them.

For example, when the child is talking, the parent should use expressions of affirmation such “yes, that’s correct” or “great job”. Another way that parents can enhance their child’s language development by using “Talkie,” is to ask them questions that require them to make and express choices. Ultimately, play is essential because it encourages cognitive, emotional, physical, and social development. Play opens the door to opportunity for parents to fully immerse with their children, and it allows children to explore their creativity as well as ripen their imagination. By engaging in play, children are given the chance to overcome their fears while imitating adult roles, it also helps to build their self-confidence and teach them to be involved in the world around them.

Technology is advancing along with the human mind and younger generations, making it more beneficial for students to learn on a vast scale “Mobile learning technologies enable a more personalized learning experience” (Hoffman). With personalized learning for students there is also a benefit for parents and teachers. While using a cellular device teachers may distrust students at first with their “stereotypical” personalities. With cell phones in schools there is a substantial amount of positives. Parents can get instant communication in case of a family emergency or any school related emergencies.
