Many parents ask me how much technology time they should allow their children. There is extensive research concerning brain development and exposure to technology that I encourage my parents to research. I grew up in an era where cell phones did not exist. I typed my papers on word processors and the term “google it” did not exist. Every parent must make their own choices concerning how much their child is exposed to technology on a daily and weekly basis. I did see this article in the New York Times this morning and thought it would be a good resource for parents, or at least a great article to read when trying to determine boundary setting when it comes to tablets, computers and cell phones.
