I set up a Gmail account for my 7 year-old so she could be e-pals with an old pre-school friend who no longer goes to school with her. We are just beginning the adventure of "agentfairy" and her e-pal. They are excited to share more of life's little tidbits with each other; as parents, we are glad to have found a way for our children to maintain a friendship and develop many skills, such as letter writing, written expression, and reflection on life experiences through what is now common-place technology which will undoubtedly be an integral part of their entire lives.
