Thanks to technological advances including computers, the Internet, cell phones, and satellites, today's children are faced with a world markedly more complex--and often distracting--than that of any other preceding generation.

Parents who want to ensure that their children successfully develop key social skills, a healthy identity, and a strong work ethic need to make the right choices every step of the way.
