Daughters who have parental support will be more likely to continue developing their technology skills during school years. Invite girl friends to play with the technology. Insist that girls as well as boys learn to set up technical equipment such as VCRs, printers, video, scanners, and other multi-media equipment. Parents can buy technology products for their girls. Parents should routinely tell their girls that they can excel in technological fields and with technology products.
Parents are role models.
Mothers need to play with their daughters and be seen using technology in fun ways as well as with work. Parents who do not have a computer can visit places where online time can be rented. Visit the video arcades. Rent a video game player at a local video rental store. Fathers need to be active role models for their daughters and sons too.
