Technoference In Parenting And Child Development
Technoference, as discussed in terms of its impact of the couple relationship in the other article (hyperlink with the previous article), it’s time to explore its impact on parenting and child development; to understand if at all there is a concern about the impact of parental technology use on the behavior of a child during the formative years.
Technoference, as the term is gaining a lot of attention, is credited to have been coined by Brandon T. McDaniel who was then a doctoral candidate in Human Development and Family Studies at Penn University, to describe the constant interference and intrusion caused by the use of technological devices of all sorts, in social interactions and family members’ spending quality time.
