Smart phones, tablets, texting apps and social media - good or bad, one thing we know for certain is that none of them were created with children in mind. And yet, the age at which children start using and owning personal smart devices is getting to be younger and younger and the number of children owning these devices is becoming bigger and bigger. The debate on children and technology is a highly polarized one, but once we block out all the noise around this issue what are the real issues that remain? What do we need to be mindful of when it comes to children's digital behavior at home and in school? In this episode, we will boil down to the basic needs children have in order to grow up mentally, emotionally and physically strong, and see how the presence of technology in their lives stands up to that challenge.
