Our children and technology
There
is
much
said
about
technology
these
days,
but
there
is
really
very
little
scientific
evidence
on
the
topic.
As parents who grew up in a school era where there was not much technology rather less internet access, we sometimes do not know where to draw the line between too little, too much or just enough for them to be up to date on the latest topics or left behind socially because they do not have access to what classmates are doing, listening to or sharing.
There is a popular saying that refers to different topics on discipline, social media or other related issues where there is little evidence as to what is better; as a parent if you have to face the decision of too much or too late, it is always better to play on the safe side of the options, as long as there is little evidence you should always choose less technology as a better option.
Since every child is different when it comes to the use of technology, I would like to share this article called: “Your child’s brain on technology: social media” by Hank Pellisier published on September 29, 2019, on GreatSchools.org

It
is
safe
to
say,
that
children
do
have
different
interactions
among
them
when
they
have
access
to
technology
for
long
periods
of
time
or
when
they
have
access
without
parental
supervision.
We
do
not
know
long
term
effects
of
such
changes
and
we
still
have
a
long
way
to
travel
in
safety
and
adult
awareness
of
what
technology
addiction
is
doing
to
us
but
a
good
first
step
to
take
is
becoming
aware
of
the
risks
and
setting
boundaries
and rules as to technology use in every home and school.
