Some says that "cellphone" is the remote control for life,feel like a part of your body?Well maybe it's true,most people can't leave without their mobiles,never live home without them and,if given a choice,would rather lose their wallet.One thing more is the Internet a virtual abyss of information - some that can help our kids with their homework, reconnect them to new and old school friends, and stay current on world events, but also some that can be emotionally damaging, developmentally inappropriate, and just plain unsafe.Facts;
According to a Pew Internet report, nearly two-thirds (63%) of teens have a cell phone - and without limits put in place, most of these teens will spend hours on their phones every day. As a result, a number of cell phone providers have catered to parents' demands for family cell phone plans that limit the number of talk-time minutes and texts. There are also a number of prepaid phone plans that will automatically limit the amount of time your child can spend on the phone.
Technology as a Supplement to Effective Parenting, Not a ReplacementThe consistency, safety, structure, and accountability offered by some of these emerging technologies can be helpful to many of families, particularly those with children with ADD/ADHD, Asperger's syndrome, learning differences, or related conditions. But beware: Technological advancements give many parents a false sense of security...well said...
