  1. Parents and their kids exchange 5,800 texts a year.  That’s approximately 16 a day.
  1. They send 260 emails a year.
  1. They make 416 calls, which add up to 37 hours.
  1. And they have 208 interactions on social media.

60% of parents also admitted that sometimes they call or text one of their family members when they’re both home and they could just yell instead.
