You can't stay aware of developments unless you know about them. Mindfulness originates from Education. Envision a world without WhatsApp! Was life truly that hard before WhatsApp happened? Perhaps not, but rather it surely made life less demanding. This was just a grain of salt in what I'd say is a sea of advancements, all in one way or the other made to disentangle your life.

I know some people are against younger kids using technology, but I feel that technology can be a really great addition to your child's education. There are so many amazing educational apps out there today that really help kids learn to read, write, understand math, etc. When Jacob was 3 we let him play with a Montessori crossword/phonetics game and it really helped him with his reading. It was amazing how fast he learned with the tool. One of our favourite educational apps is the Endless reader. The app is from Originator and they have done such a great job with the sounds and animations! What is your take on letting your kids use iPads and other tablets for learning?
