To scare or not to scare your kids: Coby Persin’s most recent and most viral YouTube video is definitely an eye-opening social experiment.
While I’m not a big fan of publicly humiliating or shaming kids, this video has definitely got people talking. I weighed in live at CBS Philly – See what I had to say by clicking the image above.
What do you think? Would you ever use this tactic to teach your kids a lesson? Would you care if 33 Million+ people saw it?

April 2015 – The Tech Talk on CBS Philly
I could not be more thrilled with the way Nicole Brewer’s “Tech Talk”, featuring my book “@Sophie Takes a #Selfie” turned out! Have you had the Tech Talk with your kids yet?
Then this happened and time stopped for a moment…
…and then THIShappened and (full disclosure) I burst immediately into tears!

Norah says, “It is absolutely brilliant!” Wait, WHAT?!?! and, “You should title a new book or article with it.” YES! I should and I will. Dear Simon and Schuster: Call me maybe? I’m currently finishing up manuscript for follow up to “Sophie” for boys – working title “Phil Gets a Phone” Social Media Dos and Don’ts for Dudes, and look forward to submitting both (Sophie and Phil) for traditional publishing soon.
To be clear, I adore the CBS This Morning crew of Charlie Rose, Gayle King and especially Norah O’Donnell. I admire her so much as a mother and professional. She has no idea (actually, she probably does) what this validation means and I appreciate her kind words more than I can say here.
It has been quite a morning. My beloved (late) Gram would call this a “red letter day”.
