So yesterday, I was talking with my husband about different it is for children today. My 11 year old had a friend over and they decided to go to the park. So I gave them my cell phone and gave them strict instructions to call in an hour to check in. To my surprise, they came back in an hour saying that they were bored because there was nothing to do. I thought, “It’s the park, how can you get bored at the park?” But then I realized that children today want instant gratification for everything and have come to expect to be instantly entertained.

I find it amazing that I have gone to school for how many years and have attended all sorts of training on what is the best way to raise and teach children and yet I have seemed to gone awry with my own children. As providers and teachers, we know that we should limit, if even have, technology in the classroom, family style dining should be used for meals, and being interactive with the children. But in my house, this is a rare thing. We have 4 computers. I know some of you are thinking “4 Computer, why?!” The funny thing is that I didn’t even own one until 10 years ago and now we have 4.
