Their High Tech World

So who has fallen victim to the tech monster? Brought your toddlers/kids a DS, a playstation, a wii, an Xbox etc..

Me! My son in his short 5 years on this earth has has a digimon, a tamagotchi, a gameboy, a DSi, two playstation2's, two computers in his room and an mp3 player!

Jiedyn now has none of those things. But he does still have over 300 movies (both DVD's and videos). My son is a movie buff. He loves all things action but at the same time is a sucker for The Care Bears and Dora. Now that he and Nevaeh share a room there is no DVD player for their TV. I wanted their room to be a place of play, of chatter and of imagination. We have started having 'no tv days' around here and I can see how much of sitting in front of the tv has impacted Jiedyns life. He is looking for something to amuse him instead of making up pretend play. Its sad to see parents allowing their children to become so caught up with our high tech world like I did for so long.. I plan to bring back mud pies, chalk on the footpaths, crawling around like cats & dogs and rolling down hills! I'm going to show my kids how we did things "back in my day".
