You know toddlerville is some very cool and interesting times for all that get to be part of it. Now think back you didn't have a car seat, multi-functional care pack and "add" challenged or enforced toys. Think about it wherever you go video, games, etc. At a game, in the park in the van, heck I've seen it at church. Now who is the enabler to this, ok let's say TV and all of the marketing agencies and the new way of thought process. Let's justify and say this will give them all a leg up in the technological advancement sector.
Don't worry about social skills, you don't need them, just engage thru technology. Alot of us have embraced the new technology. Heck let's put a gps on the diaper or the toddlers pants. How about a video cam to on their lapels. You think I'm joking were heading there. Technology will not be denied. Parents that grow up in this advancement will pick and choose and will also embrace the items they feel that are appropiate and as prices go down will embrace more. How about the toddler app or the baby app come on if it's not there already it's just a matter of time.
Now I'm sure there are many of us that embrace the techonlogy and others that say no way and some that are indifferent who succumb in some for to both model of either denial or embracement. I'm not sure that either is wrong nor will I say you need to do either of the programs.
You need to look at it all and see what works for you and don't look out the window to what others are doing nor listen to what they say about what they think is the greatness of what they are embracing as a family.
It will all work it's way out one way or another and things will work out positively for your toddlers. The fact is they are loose and they are having a good time and they just want to go with the flow when it is fun time and are like a sponge when it's time to learn.
You know the baseball now has the speed on the ball, and next thing you know there will a be a laser from glove to glove to make sure the catch happens or from ball to bat. The problem with all of this I believe is the analysis. The triage, the diagnostics, the mental preparation, the negotiations skills, the understanding of innate reasoning.
The technology can cloud all of these things. Please don't have a toddler text? You say never, but I say it's a matter of time. Before you know it the toddlers have there own facebook. Scary yes, is it a possibility doubtful but for the toddlers that move up the ladder i'ts already a foregone conclusion on how they communicate.
I'm sure they're are some very interesting stasts on development of our children. Let's keep an open mind, but also a open conversation going on with them. They want that and need it and we as adults need to embrace what got us to where we are today and find a way to properly embrace technology into the needs of the young children.
We will do that and we will make many great and bad decisions on both ends of the spectrum. However remember the most important thing we can do for anyone is keep the human element essential to all of our everday lifes. If we do this our toddlers will grow to the next step. We will grow and become encouraged byt the progress and results of our efforts.
So hang in there, I'm just saying have a healthy mix and balance of tecnology and human involement. Remember they are sponges and we meaning all of those involved in their development process are the key ingredients to their succcess.
Again I hop you keep reading their no defined plan for this blog other than to keep it interesting and hopefully encourage you to enage your ideas.
