My latest Examiner article asks the question: Can you put aside your computer/devices for a day? If not for the whole day, at least when around your children? The article takes a brief look at information compiled in a New York Times article regarding the impact of parents' chronic usage of devices around their children.
So often our society places the spotlight on our youth and their lack of communication skills due to excessive use of all things technological, however, this article takes a much needed look at the other side of the coin. How, as parents, are we supposed to foster an environment of open communication if we can't be bothered to be torn away from our devices? Often times we are just as guilty as our children.
So I hope you'll check out my latest article and let me know if you were up to the challenge.
