[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else besides our family of this mindset? Our kids are 9 and 12 and they simply do not need these electronic distractions. They play ACTUAL games and ACTUALLY communicate with others. I see no need to hook them on the ADD-friendly tech bandwagon at this age.

Who else?[/quote]

Yea....and your kids will be at my house and we will not be able to get them to put my son's iPad down. My son had one and, luckily for us, we are diligent parents who make sure that the kid does not become obsessed with it.  Interestingly enough, the app he uses most is the Kindle app to read books.

You know, parents like you crack me up. I hear this all the time about movies, the Wii, alcohol, etc. Not all kids run over to their friends houses and run for the stuff they don't have at home. It really isn't that big a deal to them. My kids don't. Their cousins have every game and gadget out there and my kids could care less. They would rather their cousins just step away from the screens and run around with them. [/quote]
