We teach our children to think before they speak. We teach them to outline before they write. What do they do before they text? The abbreviations combined with the faceless words can have dangerous consequences. The abbreviations can be misread. Emphasis on words or phrases does not have a voice. How can we teach our children to speak before they text to see how their words might be heard by the at the other end of the line?
