Tech-addicted parents

Thanks to The Huffington Post for bringing to my attention a recent New York Times article and CBS segment on the problems of tech-addicted parents who pay more attention to their BlackBerrys or their iPhones than to their babies. Somehow we don’t seem to notice or are more forgiving when adults do that to each other, but when we do it to our kids, look out! If parents don’t unplug from gadgets which disrupt quality time with their children, we will see a new generation of kids with behavior problems associated with neglect. Envision a new parallel program to Al-Anon: Tech-Anon, for adult children of parents who were iPhone addicts.
What’s next? CrackBerry babies?
