My recommendation for today comes from my own investigation and writing. I recently published "10 Parenting Tips for The Digital Age" on Medium. This came together after reviewing a New York Times article by Nick Bilton, who interviewed several parents in the technology industry. In addition, I consulted a valuable book in my library, "The App Generation." Here is a highlight from the article which you can read in it's entirety here.
"At the same time, there is nothing fun about being called controlling, or having other parents considered superior to ourselves. There is a weariness that sets in when we are constantly told, “none of my friends have these rules,” or this choice comparative, “all of my friends parents have given them iPhones.” Parenting is not for the insecure or weak minded. We will be called fascist or negatively compared to permissive parents. Nevertheless, we must focus on what is best for our kids in the long term not how we feel in the short term."
