 It is amazing how our children nowadays quickly learn how to use ipods,phones and computers.. But reading their textbooks they have many excuses,its hard for them to understand the topic and how to answer the question even the simple mathematical problems.. Any advice for a parent like me to handle this kind of situation?...

Children nowadays are more into technologies. And they don't care much if they'll have kids at a young age.

Of course, it is so, because the technologies reduce the efforts and don't require so much diligence, so the attention span is not so long. I would recommend just integrate all these ipods etc into the educational process, because it's the future and we have to face it.

Easy, gadgets are built to be user friendly. Thus tinkering with your gadgets becomes quite an experience. Also, instructional videos are available in youtube. Aside from  that, children themselves have a very short attention span. Add that to social media and gadgets made to further decrease young people's attention span even more. Now, reading books and math, both teaching methodology hasn't changed for the past decade and these things didn't appeal much to a child anymore.

If the technology is used in games, it may disrupt the learning of your children. In order make the technology as advantage in the learning of your child is to install some application that tackles about reading or counting of numbers. Try to use technology as a learning tool for your child since we know that 21st century kids are not anymore in the hands of books.

The world has become very pragmatic, precisely in terms of the direction to achieve the goal. Now every action must have some goal, result. Now, for children, the norm is not that smart adults tell me right, and I do - they keep the norm when they understand its meaning. Now even young children need to explain the purpose of any norms: why did people decide that it was right, dignified, good, why is it so, and not otherwise?

I would research how technology executives handle the issue. Apparently they do limit screen time:

I would also focus on making sure a child is well-socialized and creative. You can teach new skills and learn to use new technology, but understanding how to work well with others is really important to getting ahead.

To know how to use iphones and ipads is a common social skill. Do not need to focus on it, you need to develop the child's head, help in all school subjects.

my advise is give much more effort for focusing the studies before using there gadgets,  as a parent we must put a time for studies, and a time for using gadgets. so that our children is aware and they know what is first to do...

Technologies nowadays has make us much little. Our kids are also too much addicted to this, they find much interest in this things than text books. You can make your kid understand that they would focus much on study and after that they can use gadgets as much as they can.

Everything under the sun should have limits. We as parents , we are responsible in disciplining our children. Their time for gadgets should be limited and we must guide them with their studies. We must teach them the value of time and education. A well spent time with texbooks is better than playing computer games or using any gadgets.

Children have changed a lot.Tehnology and the Internet have done a lot of things.How good it is to have the Internet, It's so bad for children.The children were better friends before.Today they spend most of their time playing computer games, which isn't so good.The children were always on the street before.Parents had to bring them home.Today they don't even hang out.They're just looking for phones and computers.This badly affects their development.

Children have become really too obsessed with technology and do not show interest in the outside world. It's horrible.

The children in this generation are more on techy gadgets , like the usual things instead books they use tablets for reading, instead of playing outside they use cellphones like online games.. we must convinced and tel them that they must use or do the old/usual things for sometimes for it was our tradition or culture..

You should limit their time in using gadgets. For me, i only gave them 2 hours every weekend, with condition they already studied before and finished all their homework.

Childen nowadays are in high tech generation , they are more into gadgets now like smartphones , tablets , computers , they used these gadgets in playing a whole time. And in school they used the computers in studying , not just like before that students do a manual study , and no internet connection. Nowadays internet is important for children , because even if they do not have a television they can watch in the internet , by means of social media sites like the youtube.

Our children now a days,life can easier throughout of study.or in work we use the new generation technology,,for searching needs
Unlike in the past children sometimes its sad to say thier manner also change that  cause being rude disrespectful to thier parent,

We cannot deny the fact that the technologies nowadays really affected the way we live, the way we interact with each other etc... It is best if you will not introduce a smartphone to your kid.

With regard to the growth of technology, we could not run away from it. But I guess the best thing to do is maximize its capabilities and find out how you can use technology in helping your child to learn through a method far from the normal or conventional way of learning, Installing applications that has something to do with learning, let them watch videos for learning etc. Through your guidance, you can also allot a specific time in their day wherein they can use these gadgets, so that they can still read their textbooks and make sure they working on their home works/assignment. You should also discipline them and make them understand these things.

Its true that children now a days are smart in using gadgets but in their studies they are not interested, but we as a parents are the one who guided our children in using internet and gadgets, we must teach them that using gadgets has limitation and they must have time to their study, because studying is their future not by using gadgets.

I think you need to be strict to your childrens. You need to take there gadgets. Give theme  time limit for playing.  Not all the time he/ she is right. Some times over playing gadget can cause blindness of eyed.

Limit the use of electronics in your child, suppose you have to give 2-3 hours per day to play the gadget in a day. If it breaks, you can threaten to sell the gadget or reduce the school's allowance for the next day.

Children now a days is almost more different lifestyles at daily basis unlike the old children...using technology of children today can may affect to become eassier what what they do... aside from that  their manner of children today can also affect the standard living thoughtout surrounding ,,or what mother do his manner..

I don't think so a lot of kids these days actually haven't lost respect for others at all.Every generation thinks the generation after them has no respect. It's not just a thing with this generation. And why should respect be given to someone simply because they're older? A lot of older people don't actually deserve respect. You aren't entitled to respect just because you are older.

Kids nowadays are knowledgeable in high technologies such as gadgets and others, Why? because of their surroundings, They see a lot of people making time with their gadgets like their parents, siblings, and friends.

Then we talk about success in using gadgets, we should remember that this skill is very extern. They don't understand the technologies itself. They push the buttons fluently, but don't now about things behind the interface. And traditional books and homeworks will not help whem to get such kind of knowledge. That is most important issue for me. The children drift apart from traditional education process, but they still don't go deep into technologies as a new field of knowledge and education.   

Children's today are more addicted to gadgets. They couldn't leave a day without gadgets. Very normal for them to use a very updated gadgets. Sometimes they look very smart than adults when talk about gadgets. Maybe the best thing for them is a good guidance and more stricter discipline to be guided and corrected.

Technology reduces the human efforts the childrens loves the interface of cell phones computers etc. thats why they take interest instead of reading books.

As an educational specialist, I strictly recommend you that set a time limit for technology usage of your children. Our children are digital native . That's why, they are good at  learning technological stuff easily. On the other hand, you should not buy a lot of tech stuff to your children for the sake of their mental health.

The generation of children today is very informative and sometimes I notice
they mature faster than we used to. They are very dependent with technology
and gadgets, it makes their life easier and less laborious. The good thing with
this is that information is made accessibly possible in a convenient and easy manner.
However there is a downside effect with the total reliance in gadgets and the
internet, especially when there is too much information and less restriction.
The availability of data that are not morally and sufficiently adequate for their age.
It concerns me the most when there is no set limit and restriction to what children
can access in the internet whether in their homes, at schools or somewhere where this
available access and connectivity. The presence of sensitive materials and immoral contents
might affect one's view, perception, well being, attitude, psychology, behavior and
beliefs of the world and people around. It might corrupt them permanently, they may
grow up tainted with such influences negatively.

Everything should have it's limit. Having knowledge about the advanced technology is an advantage for our kids but too much usage can cause a lot of negative effects. Gadget usage should put into moderation. I believe that a wise parent knows how to balance everything. We must teach our kids to do first things first. Try to discipline them by teaching them to balance their activities and focus on what is more important.

The future of our children defends on their parents because of nowadays the children are also upgrading the technologies . You should limit the use of
Cellphone, computers and other gadgets .Many children today not to go to school always play in the computer.  Children nowadays are in hightech cause some lessons assignment are forwarded on facebook.

Now a days the children are very different before because they adopt the technology and through the technology they can research all the information that they want to know.

Children now adays mostly enjoy playing on tablets,phones, ipods or any other gadgets. By using internet they learn something inappropriate to their age like foul words, unobeying their parents, pornographic stuffs and more. The solution to it is for the parent to limit their chlidrens playing gadgets or online games so they can explore and learn new things in the real world.

Children nowadays have a gadget on their side always. I am glad that my child is not addicted on gadgets. I encourage my child to play outside. So even she is playing her body develop and become stronger.

Well what I did with my siblings,Gave them freedom using it as a previlage only, like I always remind them that if they cant answer my academical question Ill take away their gadgets.

Just approach them nicely and keep on reminding them that gadgets are only for fun or just a prize on their age.

In my own experience, my nephew is a gradeschooler andhe spends most of his time on the phone or tablet, just playing games. My nephew doesn't have the best of grades so we made a decision to confiscate his gadget and focus on studying more. My mother tutored him and whenever he gets a test and got a highscore, we reward him by playing an hour with his gadget. This continued on for months now and he is doing great at school.

If kids today is in to technologies and gadget we can take this avenue to teach them instead of insisting them our own way... we just have to be creative in doing so, smart as they are we parents should not be left behind and prove that even though we are not so much into new technologies we can integrate or corporate learning in both ways and know that we are still the captain of the boat and can steer them to what we know is right

We can almost find everything on the internet even all the subject matter that our school has to offer. When properly used, it can be useful for students because they can do their researches at the convenience of their home. Parents are responsible on how their kids will use this technologies to their advantage.

When parents are able to provide gadgets to their children, considering the positive impact is also no less important than the negative impact, then parents need to monitor and control the use of gadgets in their children, both in quantity and quality.

You can only find a child like this who is growing with the care of gadgets. The parents nowadays are choosing to let their children play gadgets. This happen because of the demand of having many responsibilities so time management is hard for the parents. But if you really want to avoid your children from the addiction of gadgets, you need to control their time for letting them  always be on that manner.

This all happens because children no longer need to think much. They can learn everything on the Internet. And most of the gadgets are intuitive. Almost all interfaces are similar and friendly to customers.

Children nowadays focus on trends and technology and that might affect their outlook in the future. As parents, it's s our duty to guide and supervise them. Everything must put into moderation. We must teach them to limit their gadget usage and to manage their time properly at the early age. We must teach them to be responsible in handling and to focus on what is more important.

I believe that here is a question of interest for the child, a child learns easy something as long as hew l;earns it in a game or something interactive, perhaps if numbers would have a response like, you can find on internet the beauty of mathematics, he would be charmed.

Civilization is what affecting children of nowadays

who knows our children  nowadays  to be come succsesful  in life... bec of the gadgets  easy  and quick  learning  to the children's.. 

It's so  sad that children nowadays don't  know how to play the traditional games because they are into computer games. Fat kids are getting higher in our population due to no exercise.

In today children use to satisfy their own needs through the technology. Therefore their relations with family are getting weak.

Yes, children nowadays are amazing how they engage themselves with technology or gadgets but they don't much appreciate the world they are in, the culture they have and even  the  people near  them because of the time they consume with their gadgets.
Reality bites. We have  to admit it, sometimes we already lack time being with them not only because of work but because we too are busy with gadgets.

Totally, perfectly agreed with you. New generation perfectly know how to use all of the technological stuffs but They cannot know how to respect elderly or how to make face to face communication with other people. We should teach these kind of rules to our new generations.

maybe parents should start to get rid of the gadgets from their childs from early ages..
Most parents now barely say "No" to their kids, million kids become a gadget addict now
back in my childhood, my parents used to angry with me for playing outside my house too long, parents now have to pushed their kids to spend more time outdoor rather than busy with their gadgets..

In indonesia we called it "kid jaman now"  ;D

Well let's face it, gadgets are more attractive and interactive than textbooks. Some parents are overlooking the opportunity here since these gadgets can, at the same time, make learning a lot more fun for kids. Times have evolved and so should our ways of educating our children

Don't let them yo use gadgets everyday and keep off those things to your children or maybe do some kind of thing where you can obligue them to study. Just like doing first the things where they learn and if they do that, let them know that the prize is playing with their gadgets if they study first.

i totally agree with you TS, this generation of children that is used to computers are getting lazier, they tend to use so much of their time in social medias instead of studying. Well it all really depends on the parents way of teaching the child

Children today are more fond of technology. For kids who are fanatical with games, you can download various types of educational games that are currently widely available on google play store. By manipulating learning in this version of the game, the child will feel playing while he is also learning. This trick is already widely used and many parents who recognize this trick as one powerful trick to make children into the spirit of learning.

For me children now adays are addicts in gudget they never focused Work rights when a child as play, and interact with them as their children. they would not enjoy their childhood because they are addicts in gudget. I hope the parents there who like myself is limit for the internet or gudget

you have to be firm in educating children, there are some such children but the upper middle class like that, but wise parents will not give without responsibility, I mean is to give them responsibilities that will give maturity to think, but for certain cases people parents should give a wise example as well when time for family or being chatting with family avoid you play smartphone or computer

Nowadays, children are very busy in playing gadgets. Children always checking their gadgets and they forget to play physical sports like basketball. Children are fast to learn when it comes to gadgets and they have poor health because they are not deciplined in their life.

dear friend the most valuable thing in your situation is to learn to talk with your children, because only in the conversation you will learn about your children a lot of new and interesting things, teach children to love books and read a lot, expanding their horizons they can adapt to life changes very quickly and productively for yourself. Let the best of families be strong, and family values are eternal.

children are the future of the world. they must possess good qualities and do not ruin themselves because they have future. but nowadays, children tend to be very impulsive, aggressive, and liberated. they do not thinking about tomorrow. they are living their lives not thinking of the future.

Kids are fortunate to be surrounded by these gadgets and it can be useful in helping them in learning. There are interactive education games which make learning fun and interesting for them. However, they require strict control to prevent addiction.

Being a parent you know what will you do. Limiting them to use and play with their gadgets and computers/laptop to focus more on their studies. And there is some applications that can help them in their studies when they do gadgets. We as parents must teach them and guide them to have a better life as they grow.

Many parents admitted up that their kids do act spoiled, and the problem seems to be getting worse. A whopping 3 out of 4 parents admit their kids are less than grateful to some degree during the holidays, and 59 percent of respondents shared that their kids are more spoiled than they, the parents, were as kids.

Our children live in modern society. Children are white paper. Always grasp the action of adults. Good or bad children are part of the family's situation and parental care. There are many children who are very good family, hardworking and supportive. But many children are damaged. Serve the online game primitive holidays, gather friends to fight, harass, use synthetic drugs.

Kids today are definitely less respectful of their elders. "Proper" etiquette is no longer forced in side of homes.
And the primary reason is that now a days beating you kid is illegal. To be honest I would rather have slightly rude kids than beaten kids

Some kids are just more receptive to technology nowadays. I suggest you use their interest in mobile devices and integrate it into their study process. Best of luck!

preferably restricted in the use of ipods, handphones and others, may use only as necessary, or even only when it is on weekends, we know that children may not need it in the use of the tool, most likely to play online games , or just listen to music and other entertainment that it makes even further by learning, pity our children

Our children these days are too advanced with technology. As parents, it is our responsibility to control and discipline them about it. We must teach them on how to manage their time appropriately. They should know how to limit their gadget usage. It is important that they focus more on their studies and be responsible in doing more important things.

Many children nowadays really get addicted in gadgets, cellphones and computer online games. Both good and bad affect in our children, it is good because it helps our children to search faster when doing research and paper works. It is bad because sometimes they have a lot more time playing with their gadgets rather than their education.

Well times change. Gone are the times when textbooks are basically the only source for academic learning for children. Now there's the internet. Its a good thing actually that children can maneuver their own gadgets at a young age since they themselves have access to higher form of learning online.

Nowadays technology has developed more than our days so children can know about world like us.there are lot of sources to finding knowledge they use them

The children do what they see from their parents and their environments. When we look around, we can easily see people who always look at their phones.  I think a few amount of people still read books on their free time. As an advise, you can use phones less when your child is with you and you can also read with them.

from my perspective children nowadays have a way more difficult childhood because the have to learn a lot more than years ago... the environment/technology/digital world always keeps moving and adds new things.......

Yes off-course, it because just effort of technologies. now a days technology is much easier for us. we can communicate whole world within short time. we can find any info by searching on internet. that's why..

Our children nowadays are more on technologies they are in the high-tech era.Gadgets are their life.Their school paper were in the Internet.In the school in the house it is already in technology.

 "Kids nowadays don't respect their elders" (Long)! These few but exact words say a great deal about the relationship between younger and older generations. Modern day children just do not know how to behave in the presence of older generations, at least that is how older generations see things. The elders (older generations) believe that children today are just plain bad. Kids are disobedient, disrespectful, and unintelligent in the present society. In the elder's opinion, it is the fault of the children themselves for their deportation toward life and its components. With this in mind, is it really the fault of the children or the fault of their parents for the child's attitude towards life and its components?

Our children nowadays are into high technology generations where computers are the main source of their playing time , and smartphones are the main source of their communication to their friends. And kids nowadays has the advance thinking because of technology , their studies are more convinient and more comfortable to them.

It's not surprising that even children seems to be engrossed in today's technology. As parents and guardians for your children, you must show them their limitations with gadgets. Or use the technology for the enhancement of their education.

You should teach them the proper use of gadgets at their early age because I found that gadgets are very addictive. They could lost their interest at school because they are blinded with entertainments on their phones, you should take action from now on.

Our children nowadays are techy more on cellphones , tablets etc. , and sometimes they did not obey their parents.. they do whatever they want not to think that thing can harm them.

Yeah thats true children now are different from before. They learn to use gadgets and get addictive to it. But its our responsibility to teach them manage their time like 2hrs for study, 1hr for gadgets, 2hrs playing outside and time for rest we are the adult they need to obey.

I was lucky to have a child who was obedient and likes to read books. He also like to play on his android phone. We only allow him to use it every weekend or if its a holiday. No devices if its school day. Start to create routines for your child so that its easy for you to tell him what are the things that he should do on that day and what are the things that he can't. Setting limitations on devices is highly recommend. You don't want them getting addicted to games or browsing the internet. Discipline is key.

Children nowadays is really into the gadgets they some of them don't really want to enjoy their time playing outside or having a fun activities with their friends.
I really am happy that I grow up having a fun time playing outside the house and I think it is really better for the kids because it could be their exercise .

Yeah they easy to learn how to use gadgets.how to play the games how to use inyernet.but because of that they font have time to play physically they dont have interrst in their studies.so pllsss limit your child to use gadgets

Today’s children are smart but are also rude and moral less. 

They are annoying and all they want is the gadgets and the phones.

It is so hard too limit screen time for children these days, but try your best to do it.  Children are consuming so much technology and as they get older it will be harder for you to control their screen time.  With that said, it is neccessary for children to use technology to stay competitive.  Finding the balance between a screen and going outside and playing is key and when you figure that out, tell me how to do it  ;D

Our schools also need to also evolve with the times.  Children are moving at such a fast pace and the school system (with some exceptions) is still the same as it was a couple of decades ago. Schools need to teach the same way kids are learning.  Just my two cents. :D

The skill of storing knowledge (memory) is slowly being replaced with the ability to analyze it quickly and efficiently

Childrens nowadays are addicted to gadgets like laptop, phone, psp, etc. They are consuming much time in playing games and usig social media, they ignore their studies. I advice you to balance their time, before using their gadgets make sure that they finish everything regarding school activities. Make more time in school activities than playing gadgets.

Children's nowadays are very addicted when it comes to social media's ,like Facebook, Instagram , Twitter , and also in YouTube channel's . They called their selves as a millennial , they are always first when it comes in trending clothes .They forget about our traditional games ,they rather plallly a video game than to hang out with their friends .

Well there's always an option to utilize children's interest in gadgets for better learning. A lot of learning apps for kids can actually work better than textbooks since they'll learn the same thing although this time while having fun. It's an opportunity that technology gave us tomake learning less stressful for both student and parent

It is always our duty and responsibility to control things about our kids. We must know what they are doing and the effects of their hobbies to their daily lives. Children these days are into the advanced technology and we are the ones who should know how to control their time for it. Let's teach them how to be responsible about handling things.

Charity begins at home.I think that a parent should between the ages of 5 to 10
years ensure their children are focused on their books, studies, reading and maintaining
academic home work compliance.This way, it is habitually instilled in them before digital
distraction as ipods, phones and all.If this discipline is consistently introduced to the kids
at younger age, they have no choice than follow a 'wired' habit in their blood.The reason
they are refocused from their books is due to such training.When they go out there, they
tend to follow peers influence which is what they copy from the society or environment.

Just because this generations children is more on their phone and tabloids doesn't really mean they are more ''techy''. Do they understand the mechanics that makes their gadgets work? If not then they are just addicted to consumerist products. Do you they how to build an app on a tabloid/phone, do they know how such apps work or are they atleast curious to the insides and outs of software? If not, then they are likely just addicted.

I know some schools try to adapt to the generations needs by throwing away textbooks and making informative gamified apps that can teach children, but if they ever want to achieve something like university they will need to be able to read long lines of text, being able to concentrate for hours at a time and be able to comprehend these things. Getting their attention with flashy animations will work untill the work becomes more serious and in depth.

Children nowadays hmmmm! seriously most parent has lost it already, it is not making sense that i have smart child that has lost his/her manner and i will tie it to technology. i wonder what i will do with your smartness when you will bring nothing but shame disgrace to your family. At home they behave nice but outside they are something else, so rude, zero respect for elders.I think parent should look inward and outward of what this children are doing so that we don't loose them please.

That's a serious problem, at least you have limitations on playing time and learning children.
And how does this start with you letting your child get away from gadgets? Given the benefits are still lacking and many negative sides are just generated.

Children of this generation are smart and are over the top of everything.

The children nowadays are very smart and they know everything at a very young age.

My kids are still interested in their textbooks. And don't find math difficult, I'd dare say they find it entertaining.
But they have had little access to technology and many, many occasions to play and study in the offline world. We move a lot outdoors, play board games, we read almost every single night, we talk about space and geography and dinosaurs and they have had time to develop patience and a fascination with some offline experiences.
It is always a matter of practice. And patience.

They are annoying and all they want is the gadgets and the phones.

School had started for a few weeks now. It seems that children are now burden with all sorts of activities for their studies. Just look at the size of their bags. Sometimes I pity these young children who are still in primary school. They have to bring too many books to school everyday. Maybe it’s good maybe it’s not.

Not only that! These young children nowadays are pressured by their parents with a lot of things. Some have to fulfill the parents’ dreams and expectations, that they are not allow to make their own choice. They have no freedom to do so as their lives had been carefully planned by the parents since the day they were borned.

Maybe you should put measures in place that limits their time and all those gadgets that you got for them so that they can also physically bond with other people their age as well as their families as well.

Yes. I agree. The children nowadays spend more time using their smartphone instead of playing outside. This can cause problems if they continue to do this. Its not only bad for their body but it can also be a bad effect on their well being. Going out and being with friends can improve a child's self confidence and social interaction. I still believe that we need to have an active mind in order to have an active body that is why I am limiting my child's time on smart phone and allowing him to go outside and play.

For me, it is discipline. During the early years of a child that is when habits are formed and that is when the mind of the child setups information so easily like a sponge. Everything that we feed I the mind of a child, be it habit or schedule let us be strict in that. For example, device or gadget time should be an hour a day, study time should be books in most of the time. This way, the child will get used to using books all the time.

Children now adays is more on gadgets learn quickly on computer games but there textbook is none maybe parents like me as a parents should train our children to limit there time on games in gadgets

Children nowadays learn quickly on how using gadgets instead of textbooks, even though your telling them to stop it they just don't want too. If im going to have children in the future i will train my kids to have limit on thier gadgets.

I think children won't have problems with textbooks if parents read books and also if parents gave them books in the earliest childhood.

right now our children is different from before,right now children is talented easily understand something and anything, ideas, maybe from food intake or from technology that we have right now.

Smartphones are not good for kids but we can not stop them. No one understands that they can quickly learn everything, so outdoor activities are necessary to limit them.

And a matter of education.
If you let your children all the day using you smarphone or your tablet, well he is not going to do the effort to read or understand something in "real life";
The impact of the screens have been proven and is now denunciaed by some paediatricians

Today’s children are smart but are also rude and moral less. 

The children nowadays are smart and they learn things quickly.

Child are always curious about new things and activities. Nowadays they are interested in internet with mobile, laptops, computers etc. Though as we know library is store house of knowledge but they are not little bit interested in this matter. They like to play games and movies too. But it's really harmful to their own business and they killed their future. So if they use it they should proper utilize their techniques in proper way.

Actually don't blame your children, it's your own fault. If you didn't gave them gadgets in the first place they won't act like that.

Anyway, to make it easier for you to manage your children, take time to stay with them and analyze what is really happening to them. They need your attention sometimes, not just what you can give them.

Force them to study if you see that they have failing grades on certain subjects, ask them if there is a problem with it then help them.
Never ever blame your child or telling them as if they are a moron, instead always tell them that they are doing great and they need to improve a little.

Children nowadays are really very updated in new technology.The good thing of it is they had knowledge in new technologies that can be a great tool for advance learning but the bad thing is they are hook up in using those new technology only for playing or other matter that might affect their studies.Those children needed a proper guidance of their parents and the parents should strictly impose limitations in using gadgets for the benefit of their children.

Children nowadays is very talented when it comes to modern technology likes in computer or phone any gadgets right now. But they lack when it comes to physical games that we had when we arr young like in 90's. Children nowadays also are stubborn they don't to their parents.

In my opinion, children as it is have a very short attention span. Gadgets such as phones and tablets shorten that even more. You could see this even with adults. We ourselves cant even sit through a 10 second video ad. Going back, the reason children don't take math seriously is simply because the problem is not asked creatively enough to capture a child's attention. My advise? Display math problems or reading exercises that capture the attention of a child. Better yet, involve gadgets in the scenario.

I’m also having hardtime with this especially with my 14 year old son. we do homeschooling and he as well using his device for many additional info needed. It is beneficial when it comes to information but im sure there will be negative impact later on with regards to health. We really have to limit it especially to the much younger generation.

My 5 year old daughter can't live without phone now lol. She makes me worry about her addiction to play games on gadget. We have a same problem here, any advice would be great.

kids now? they are too advanced when it comes to everything. the sooner they learn things, they early become mature. so sometimes they do not know how to listen. Little advice, let's give them time to play for opportunities to study and have time to do housework. Talk to them as well so they can better understand the things you want to say.

Im so agree with you after school at home they look firat to their ipod instead of checking their books and make their homework.in week ends i stead playing outside they choose to play in their ipad too.to handle this situation is really hard.

my 9 year old son also lways use his ipad instead of reading books.this is one of my problem too.after school when he reached home he look for his ipad and start using it until he got sleep.what solution did is I give him tutor after school hours,1hour daily so that even he play in his ipad at home he already study lesson for tomorrow

     Nowadays, Children is also following the trend and its sad to see that children is addicted in technology and we know that the radiation from the screen can affect their body, kids also advanced in technology its because they are skillful.

    So why won't you used technology to your kids to obey you. Just limit thier time in using cellphone, laptop, video game and personal computer. Or execute a role on using any electronic gadgets in your home. Just remind them the negative effect in using gadgets to be aware that it also has a bad effect in our health especially in our precious eyes.
     

Due to technologies our way of thinking changes. Quick memory and lazy brain... this is not only the problem of children, but of adults, too. We are getting more and more used to short notifications in social media, small articles and fast news. The information flows have never been so huge. Our brains just get overloaded and try to protect themselves against it! The way out is concious living and limiting of communication techs usage. But I barely can imagine this in the conditions of nowadays.

Children of this generation are smart and are over the top of everything.

As what you have said. They are good when it comes in gadgets. Maybe they are too interested in technologies than to read on their books because they've got bored. Just like my son. It is better to less gadgets with your kids. It is better to have a physical activities than to play on gadgets.

Childen nowadays are in high tech generation , they are more into gadgets now like smartphones , tablets , computers , they used these gadgets in playing a whole time. as a parent we must put a time for studies, and a time for using gadgets. so that our children is aware and they know what is first to do...

I'm amaze the children in the past because in that day there was no computer yet or any technology use they all gonna do is to read some books and playing outside. But for now some kids are addicted into some new technology and still always playing games in the computer so that's why too late sleep.

We need to be more conscious of our children because their fertile mind can get easily diverged at early age due to these technologies

Let the child do whatever they want to do... Parents should let the child express his creativity in his own way.

"Children nowadays are waaaay dumber that we were at their age".

If you guys think you're the first generation to think/say that ... well, greeks used to say that to because of ... books.

There are disadvantage and advantages too. due to this ability they though, able to learn within short time period but they are being vir

When we are about their age we didnt even know how to talk or crawl. its a god gift that they are learning so fast

yes its truely amazing to see it. i still wonder how can they do that

We shouldnt leave children to be on their own though, we too have faults because the modern people arent looking after their siblings

That's the common problem of parents like us. At a young age, make sure to teach your kids on how to use gadgets properly like setting time limits is the most important. Do not tolerate your kids into using gadgets more than 2 hours a day because if you do, you might lead them to the wrong path. You will end up having a huge problem on how to control them, better to control them now than regret later.

Also make sure to find fun smartphone games where kids actually learn some logic, language etc... and don't just press buttons to pass the time. It's like watching TV,
you can watch documentaries and learn something interesting or you can watch soap operas.

We, as parents should know how to discipline our kids as early as possible because we are the ones who are responsible in handling things about them so we must encourage them to be responsible in their gadget usage. It is important that they know how to do more important things rather than focusing on the gadgets that they have.

Children nowadays don't respect their elders unlike in the past. They losing their temper with their parents becoming foul mouthed and disobeying them, being rude and disrespectful children.

Children nowadays is more knowledgeable compare before 90's, because of the new technology, before games to be play is more physical compare today more in computer games, and they can research all with the help of internet.

Very smart and knows everything at a very young age.

I think by what I've seen these days, some kids are just spoiled brats! I feel so bad though because I think alot of the reason is the parent's fault. I know kids can't be perfect, mine act up sometimes too but not to the point where it's just uncontrollable and embarrassing. I see alot of kids just when I go into the stores how they throw fits and don't respect their parents. My first thought is what a brat, than, I wonder hmmm, why they got that way?

make your child the truth set time about when to play and when to learn. If it is making any difficult maybe you could steer with petrified give applications into the phone or computer for your son who is about lessons. I think today many of such applications.

Too much into phones and knows nothing about the outdoor sports.

Pampered kids and are also spoilt too much.

Annoying and sometimes over smart. They are all brats.

Now a days, we are in the millenium, children today don't know how to socialize in other children face to face , they know more about technologies, maybe its an advantage but there are also a lot of disadvantages. Like, they dont know how to play water enter , hide and seek , And other 90's games. 90's time are more enjoyable than today, more childish than today. In addition, giving more attention to technologies is also a bad habbit . Technologies like cellphones , computer , tv and others emits radiation which is bad to our health, it can affect our brain.

Too much into phones and Very smart, knows everything at a very young age.

I think, our children nowadays technology with a bad way involved are. Study the mobile games to play a waste of time that. More time on Facebook busy is. So I think, when they do study, should not giving their mobile phone.

it may be a negative impact of technological developments.
but children can now learn faster through the means that exist in today.
so my idea is better in facilitation but directed to learn through the media.

Parents would establish discipline when it comes to their children using gadgets.Do not wait until your child is already addicted to his gadgets. Give the child time to study first before using gadgets.

Children nowadays is always relying to technology, that's why they dont like to go to school, dont listen to parents advice,dont have time to go to church and not focusing on their studies. Also they dont have time to eat, because always focusing on technology.

That is the problem of parents today because of the advancement of technology,  children are getting hooked by internet and gadgets. We cannot prevent the technoloy feom rising up,  our duty is to discipline our children. Limit them in the use of gadgets and browsing the net and playing games. We should be more strict,  set some rules that they need to obey before they can use their gadgets.

Young generation can used high technologies such as laptops, cellphone and etc. It is because of the system which is user friendly and develop by the smart developer.

Parents must also be educated when it comes to gadget use. Several experts recommend to introduce gadgets at the age of twelve. But since we treat gadgets as needs and they are already exposed to them, parents should regulate the gadget use of their children. They can not sit all day long playing their gadgets. Go out more often to distract your children. Go to museums, libraries, bookstores, playground, malls, beaches, etc. There are lot of places where your children can learn while having fun at the same time.

You’re doing your best to raise your child and of course you want them to be intelligent. You’re not alone! Everyone would like to give a child advantages, and helping them become successful seems huge. In reality, the best things you can do to encourage a child’s mental development are simple, everyday activities and habits. Do things like talk to your child about everything that is going on in your life, encourage them to read, and let them explore art, games, and other hands-on activities

There should be a time for reading and the time given to them to operate gadgets and phones should be limited.

Technology is a good thing come talk of the advantages it really help our children's to studied wide , they consult there computer everytime, social media is also helping them so share idea, experience, knowledge, within there friend they relate.. children gain more knowledge when they consult there internet,they are able to meet with long time friend and many more Advantages..

Children tend to copy the behavior of their parents, especially in the first years. If they saw you staring in the gadgets - not books - all days long, no suprise that they prefer computers... We just have to spend quality time with our kids, not leave them with cartoons or gadgets just to have some free time for ourselves. You reap what you sow.

Our children nowadays are more open eyes, because of high technology

I agree, my son is also addicted to gadgets but now I limit him and give him time to play for about an hour per day. Right now he already improves his behavior from that and I think it also helps his mind to focus on some activities not only in gadgets.

Kids nowadays is a very different than before. Social media ruined the life of kids today. Even a child 1 year old baby is very good how to play gadgets unlike before.  It is a big similarity than before.

Are a pain in the neck. They are overskirt and too irritating.

Don’t know how to survive without phones and that is very annoying.

They are damn smart and their grasping levels have increased too much.

I would not allow my child to use gadgets first few years
children have to learn how to think without technologies.

Our children nowadays are all smart intelligent they know all what is in and what is out.
