[quote=Anonymous]My kids are a bit older so smart phones weren't as common and ipads didn't exist when they were younger. We were the family that limited computer use to weekends and never watched TV on weekdays. BUT, as soon as DS with ADHD and dyslexia got his hands on his first iphone, his world changed for the better. He uses it to set reminders, add items to his calendar and look up information immediately. It has helped him stay organized and on task. So many useful apps! Curiously, facebook has not been an issue. We went from being a very low-tech family, to a family that completely embraces it. I'm still glad that he had a such low-tech childhood but I don't think it made a bit of difference in the long run. In our case, the phone has been a great tool. He has had to learn how to put limits on using it and sometimes that is a struggle, just as we all struggle with limiting our use of the internet...and DCUM![/quote]
