When I asked other parents to tell me why they use e-mail to communicate with their children and other family members, they shared these ten reasons. We've shared their stories with you below, too, just in case you need further incentives to get online. I've shared some of the benefits to using e-mail, below. It's the only way you can make sure your kids are listening to what you have to say, instead of their interrupting or contradicting you, mid-thought. Time differences, mail delays and telephone charges make international communication, other than e-mail, difficult.
Kids use it as a diary, and can share all their daily activities with their parents.
It makes it easier for parents to help with homework and school assignments. It's so easy for you to share all the little things you want to, not just the general things that letters usually contain. You can send photos, audio messages and can forward documents and other things you've found online. You can share one message with many people at the same time, just by adding them to the mailing list. It's a great way to move one word-processed document from location to location.
