From smartphones and social media to TV and tablet-based toys, today’s kids are constantly inundated by technology. While it’s important for children and teens to develop an aptitude for technology, after all, they will use computers their whole lives, too much technology use can have detrimental health and physical effects.  Of course, this doesn’t mean parents need to ban technology entirely, but it’s important for parents to be aware of the potential effects of technology on children and develop strategies to limit their children’s screen time. Reid + Cari discuss the importance of technology, how far it has come since they were kids, and their thoughts on raising their child in a technology driven world.  Questions or comments to Reid + Cari, email: thehawaiicouplepodcast@gmail.comConnect with us on:Instagram: @thehawaiicoupleFacebook:  The Hawaii Couple PodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/caritairaBlog: www.hawaiifoodandfamily.comBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
