While there are so many things about technology that I'm not a fan of, Facetime is still my favorite! Ady reads to her grandparents in Kansas City all the time and it's wonderful! It mixes it up from her reading to us but also she gets to chat with them afterward about her life!
In this scary world of social media we are anti phones for our kids until 8th grade. Drew has a Gizmo watch to reach us and we are holding out a phone for him for at least a couple more years. Depression rates are at an all time high with kids and the things their little eyes see online is just scary. Call us sheltering parents but I refuse to give in to this world. I'm sure my kids will be one of the last to get a phone and I'll be called a mean mom plenty but if it keeps their minds innocent and keeps them safe then I'm all for it.
