Shownotes

Parents often ask whether or not gifting technology is the “right thing to do.” But instead of asking questions about “right or wrong” or “good or bad,” research indicates that the when, why, what, and with whom of technology is just as important as the mere presence or absence of a new device or game.

In this episode, Erin reads an article that explores:

  • Pausing to reflect on the purpose of tech gifts.
  • Essential questions to ask about tech gifts before buying them.
  • How to wrap up your tech gifts with intention and care.
