Smartphones and Social Media: How Soon is Too Soon?
Parenting has its challenges. Am I right? When I think about my own childhood, I can’t help but think about those Gen X memes reminiscing how kids would roam free from dusk to dawn, stopping only to drink water from the hose in the neighbor’s yard, and not coming home until suppertime, all without a text, DM, or phone call to our parents. It’s a stark contrast to today, where kids have the potential for living a completely digital life with access to a smartphone, instantaneous communication, and ties to the world writ large.
