More on Technology & Kids
Continuing on the technology theme: There is no debating that teens are addicted
to their cell phones. Most teens use their phones 24/7 and texting is
their main form of communication.

Technology & Kids
This is a topic that I
have been fielding many questions about. Communication and connections.... Here is an interesting
article
Has technology changed the way teenagers tick?
Teenagers today still go through puberty, adolescence, and all the associated personal and relational dramas that go along with that. So their basic desires, needs, and questions haven’t changed. But we need to acknowledge that the technology they have grown up with has completely changed the way people go about their lives. Young people today will have a radically different experience of childhood and adolescence than their parents did. Adults talk about social networking and mobile technology as “new technology” yet for tweens & teens it is merely the where and how of interactions.

10 ParentingTips
Trust, technology. curfews, peer pressure- Here are two links with great tips for parenting teens and tweens. We all need new tools to help navigate these transition years.

Review!
Thrilled to share a wonderful review of The Tool Box from Maren Schmidt, author and educator.
To read review Click Here
A valuable book by Karren Garrity is appropriately named, The Tool Box: Tricks of the Trade for Raising Teenagers.
Even though Garrity wrote this book to help those working with teens,
the relationship building advice works for three-year-olds or
103-year-olds.
