Politeness counts.
You teach your kids to be polite offline; talk to them about being courteous online as well. Texting may seem fast and impersonal, yet courtesies like "pls" and "ty" (for please and thank you) are common text terms.
Tone it down.
Using all caps, long rows of exclamation points, or large bolded fonts are the online equivalent of yelling. Most people don't appreciate a rant.
Cc: and Reply all: with care.
Suggest that your kids resist the temptation to send a message to everyone on their contact list.
