Summary:
The article shows that technology (DVD’s, computers game, cell phones and TV shows) has become a way of life for most young people. The parents’ role is to watch their children. However, the author claimes that our children are losing touch with the core values of their parents and grandparents. Bedtime stories and music and sound effects help children cope with growing up. Also, she explains that these days most parents are working outside the home.Then, grandparents are free to rear grandkids.This article also shows that Creative Children Magazine gave the series the 2010 CD of the Year award.


Reaction:


This article is interesting because it focuses in on the important topic,” We Lost Our Children to Technology”, that affects our children. Although we knew technology has many benefits, it has many harm at the same time. This article reminds me of my uncle’s son. He is four years old. He always watches TV. The TV affects him. However, he eats, plays, sleeps, talks and speaks like what he watches. So, the author came up with great idea when she looked children programs to reinforce the relationship between the children and their parents. In my opinion, it is parent’s role to save their children from technology. Their children need to talk with them. They need to learn their parent’s behavior not Tome and Jerri’s behavior.
