Are smart gadgets beneficial for kids?

In this age of information, it is essential for a child to benefit from technology and gadgets. If you keep it away from them, you may run the risk of leaving your child behind in the row of a generation of kids. Though we all know that it's essential for our kids to be able to navigate the byways of our wired world in order to excel at school and beyond, it's hard not to be stunned by how technology seems to have taken over our lives. We should always implement limitations. I am a mother of two and as a parent, we should help our children understand about what they see and hear, and make sure they're not sacrificing time for homework, physical activity, family, or friends. Especially when your kids are young, it's best to play or watch with them and discuss what they see. Set a good example by limiting your tech time and using those free moments to enjoy being with them. Create a set of rules as no television while eating; no phone calls during family hour. Parents should put away their smartphones and tablets to inspire the kids. We have to try to explain to them why they should not use it for more time. Discuss the health benefits by using gadgets for a limited period.
