Whatever you decide, one thing is certain: it’s important that you think carefully and establish rules that feel right for you and your family. As I’ve written here before, setting limits on technology can help build your child’s empathy with other people, and their patience. It also forces them to be imaginative, active thinkers, and value actual face-to-face communication as well as solitude. Because that’s what’s lost in this age of constant chatter and screens: the ability to just be a person, alone with your thoughts, bored even. That stillness is a wonderful, human thing, one we have to not lose sight of amid all of the candy colored digital distractions.
