Smart Phones

In my experience it seems that parents are giving smartphones to their children at an alarmingly young age. An age where they (the children) lack the emotional intelligence and social skills to manage their use. Why are we doing this? I have my suspicions that the reasons are largely unjustified, however, it is a reality that confronts all caregivers. Anyway, enough of my little mother/teacher/grandma rant. 

Information and equipping is the key. Here are some resources that may help in your decisions, discussions and strategies.
