So many times, these kids know more about the technology than their parents. And so many times, we're putting kids in very adult situations and expecting them to behave like they're 40 years old. Well, that's just not going to happen.

It is the child's understanding that teaches the adults the way of the future. They're still doing it today with modern technology.

We are now living in a fast paced technological era where every skill that we teach our children becomes obsolete in the 10 to 15 years due to exponentially growing technological advances.

There are moments of opportunity for families; moments they need to put technology away. These include: no phones or texting during meals. No phones or texting when parents pick up children at school - a child is looking to make eye contact with a parent!

Kids are no fools: they're very sophisticated, they don't miss a lot; they don't miss nuance.

Because of technology today, we expect kids to stay in touch with us too much. I think that's unnatural. We really do have to give kids their freedom and allow them to go off and become adults.

Children want the challenge of difficult tasks - just look how much better they are than their parents on a computer.

Unfortunately, kids are led to believe things are easier to achieve than they really are.

Children aren't just our future. They're our present.

Most parents' goal is to launch their children into the world with all the tools they need to make it on their own.
