As school fl,tats again，there’s SO much mole for an American parent to nag(唠叨)about，like

homework，bedtime and lost hours on the Intemet．But in the age of digital childhood，Jacky Long-well，45，of McLean，Virginia，often text—messages(发短信)what she OnCe told her children bymouth_"Be nice to your brother；walk the dog；remember your reading．

This is the world of the modem family，in which even reminding children to do something has

become electronic．

There  are changes in how parents nag and in what they nag about and in the frequency of their

nagging．

With technology，“you nag more，and you are a little bit more：precise with your nagging．’’said

Reginald  Black，46，of Woodbridge，Virginia．

For many young people，electronic nagging is part of the experience of growing up．Charles Flowers，17，131．$enior at St．John“College High School in Washington．says his mothel-reminds him about everything from laundry，being Oil time to baseball practice and mowing the lawn by text．

When she uses capitals he knows she is serious：GET HOME!

Some say technology has made nagging less annoying．

Jaeky Longwell thinks texts ale less emotional than spoken messages and less likely to be resisted by teenagers．

It’s not as painful for them to hear it by text．It becomes grouped with the friendly communication，”she said．“They can’t hear the nagging．”

She thinks a good way to do it is to mix friendliness with nagging．A parent Call always start by

saying hello．

Not all parents like the new electronic r,agging．Joyce Bouehard，51，a mother of four in Fairfax，Virginia，texts her 14一year—old son but says that for many  things — chores，homework— the

old—fashioned way works better．Nagging by text has risks，she notes：I always think，if you are texting them something and they are with their friends，they ale getting a big laugh out of it．’’
