Yes, it is challenging parenting in this new environment. You are deemed mean or too strict if you don't allow your children to have the latest gadget. Well I have broad shoulders and am prepared to stick to my guns on this issue. Thanks Georgina for your kind words. Yes, it is challenging parenting in this new environment.

In my case when communication stopped in our house for over a year now, we have forgotten how to be happy with ourselves or each other. Losing our jobs and trying hard to find one can be very stressful. Our minds have become very cloudy which brings no relief to the situation. We haven't been able to think straight. Making a connection with each other wasn't and option at this point and time. But after reading your article, it lifted my spirits up. Yes a "hug" is in order for today and to unplug, if it is only for a few hours or minutes we need to reconnect and breathe. Someone has to break the ice.<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Love, Light and Laughter<br>Wendy I applaud you Elaine for this well written article.

Well said and sooooooooo true. I'm glad I raised my family before the onslaught of technology. I had enough difficulty with ensuring that the television was off during meal times so that we had an opportunity to talk and connect. This monster that we call technology and advancement is just the new form of clutter - and clutter gets in the way of the things that matter most - people. Thank you for helping shed more light on this plight. Excellent commentary Elaine! Well said and sooooooooo true. I'm glad I raised my family before the onslaught of technology.
