Jeff and I are trying to keep the technology at bay as long as we can but I know we'll have to get her a phone at some point. We also don't allow anything at dinner - including us responding to texts, emails or calls if they come in. It's tough at times but we want Kylie to grow up talking to us and enjoying quiet family time without all the gadgets. I'm sure it will only get tougher for your daughter because each year it seems to be more prevalent. I think parents need to take a stand and not allow technology (to a certain extent- I know we're not Amish!) as long as possible!

It went like this, cheetos, coke, james taylor playing and INTERACTING with the family. We're going to become a society of mutes.

I'm going to try and distance myself from technology more, but again, where would we be without it?????? Such a catch twenty-two... Maybe I will starting writing letters and mailing them?? Love your insight about kids. I had to talk to my parents on 12 hour car drives... Mason will get to also.......xoxoLife Made Simplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07776047181955473118noreply@blogger.com
