including computers, mobile Internet and social media(社交媒体)，from their children，according to a survey from the International Communication Association．Parents teach their kids almost everything when they are young．Now for the first time, the teachers become the students and the students become the teachers．
The change of roles comes from the rapid development of society and technology，according to ZhouXiaohong，a professor from Nanjing University．Zhou said the Internet and other forms of media give children more ways to get information．So，it's possible that children know more than their parents do these days．
