Tweens & Teens...Oh My

While we want our kids to enjoy their cell phones, Internet connections, iPods and video games, we also want them to see the light of day. So, where should parents draw the line? Let’s begin by putting technology in its place—it’s a toy. Cell phones may be a great way for our children to communicate and the Internet may be a fantastic help with school assignments, but for all intents and purposes, children use technology as a toy. Toys are fun, but, like so many other forms of fun, it’s up to parents to set healthy limits for their children. See Giving kids enough downtime and other tween & teen stories below.
