Technology and Children

  Today I came across an interesting article on how parenting is being affected in an ever-increasingly cyber-centric world. While technology is wonderful in simplifying our lives and extending your reach, too much can be detrimental to development in children. I have several nieces and nephews who literally cannot go anywhere without an iPad or Gameboy. In turn, they rarely socialize or say more than a couple words at a time, and sit by themselves at most family outings. I cant help but think they are going to have a lot of trouble with communication and socialization as they get older. As parents, we need to control the amount of screen time our kids get so they can go out and interact with the real world. For more ideas on technology control for your kids, read the article here.
