Your child’s vital need for electronic gizmos
Dave Taylor at Attachment Parenting Blog says, “The more we travel and the more I interact with kids of other families, the more I wonder whether we have a pocket of quasi-Luddites, veritable Amish families who are actually hurting their children by turning our collective backs on the marvels of modern technology and electronic gizmos.”
Of course, we all know how necessary it is to own and use gizmos in order to live a rich and full life. That’s why everybody born before our generation lived boring, unfulfilled lives. You should buy a gizmo for a child today. It doesn’t matter what kind or color.
Significantly, Dave admits that gizmos attract him and his church. I think that admission is nothing to be ashamed of. It shows he knows what he’s talking about. I support him in his neo-Luddism. I practice it myself.
The truth is that, like a drug, technology has the ability to become more appealing than real life. For the long term, my advice is to bet on real life. Just say No to gizmos for your children. At least, say Wait.
