Our world has changed. Oh, how our world has changed.

Kids are smarter, brighter and a heck of a lot more advanced than we ever were. And how we miss those good old days! But changing with the times ain’t a bad thing. The key in life is balance.

My kids, they’ve been exposed to technology from the word go. At 5 months old, when she could grasp objects, T2 was already playing with my dinosaur Blackberry Bold. I always turned the phone signals off when I handed her the phone and you should too if you allow your kids to play with your hand phones. Kids brains are not fully developed and there is radiation from phones. So turn your signal off. If you have a dinosaur phone that doesn’t have that function, then you either turn the phone completely off or distract the kid with something else.

And whilst the kids are into the technology toys, do make sure too that they get plenty of outdoor time, plenty of exercise and fresh air and lots of other activities variant from staring into a flat screen. They need to be exposed to everything. They need to play using their bodies too, not just with their eyes. And limit technology time for their eyes sake! I always stop T1 whilst she’s on the ipad and ask her to look at a distant object, then a near object, then a distant object again and vice versa…….just to exercise her eyes.

Some kids have no technology gadgets and that is fine as long as they know how to operate a computer when the time comes, because seriously, you are somewhat crippled if you don’t know how to operate a computer. As much as we try to run from technology and go back living in history, it is impossible. Technology is everywhere surrounding our kids. It is part of their normal. It is what they were born into.

So don’t fight it. Just embrace it with a balance.

Thank you, Apple, Blackberry and Nintendo.
