We have learned about parent use digital grounding for children. They were being rude to their children, because they wanted their kids get better, in study, and in everything, not to forgot their works and life, ... But then they could talk but could they do? Actually No! Our last lesson was about the parents and the plug in. We can see they all lost their head on devices, on technology, not on their kids, especially when kids need help. I knew this is normal to our life, but by the essays, I was extremely surprised how they not to care about their kids like that.
The story from " The Risks of Parenting While Plugged In" was about 2 1/2 years old boy needed his mom but then what he received was " Just wait a second. Just wait a second." because she's using her BlackBerry. I can understand if parent have works to do, or have things to care. But I can't understand the reason why she didn't look up from her phone just once although her son made repeated attempts again and again? It was just a simple short story but he finally couldn't stand for it anymore, then he tried to bite her leg. Parent took their kids' devices away, parent didn't allow their kids to use internet too often 'cause children talk 2,153 words an hour in working class; and only 1,251 at home, but parent didn't do it well either. Our daughter, our son are much more iportant than devices, so don't let them down, don't hurt them even when we wasted their times too long.
One more bad story was a little girl Lily, as a second-grader only, has an iPod touch, a portable DVD player and her own laptop. In my opinion, she is too young to be an owner of too many devices like that, that is too much! They bought for her they made their daughter has her own world but that is not really good at all. They complained she wouldn't hear her name while she was using these. It's not too difficult to understand why, right? The thing is she is just a little girl, she doesn't have too many homework to do, or too many things to think. So that she spent her times for watch videos, for listen to music and play games. She did that too often, it's not good. But who let she does? Her parent! She can have entertainment, but not by this way. This is too much for children have same ages as her. Instead of using devices, devices and devices, there are many better ways. Beside parent use device, like the old article, children use too much, too. Technology is good, is really good for communication, for education, for work, for shops, ... many things, unlimited. But using them too much, that's so wrong! We can use internet for social webpage, it's good. But too often, like using for hours, it's bad. We must control ourselves to make these things not to happen. Parent or children, must check their habits and how they're working. I don't say devices are bad, I love them, I use them a lot. But technology is for good things, not for bad things happening..
