High Tech Parents More Connected to Blackberry than Baby

So much to connect us, yet we are so disconnected . . .

The New York Times and CBS have done segments on "tech addicted parents" who have trouble balancing the attention they give to their babies and their BlackBerrys.

Sherry Turkle, director of MIT's Initiative on Technology and Self, has studied the effect of technology on children and parenting. "After five years and 300 interviews, she has found that feelings of hurt, jealousy and competition are widespread," the New York Times reports.

Turkle told the New York Times, "Over and over, kids raised the same three examples of feeling hurt and not wanting to show it when their mom or dad would be on their devices instead of paying attention to them: at meals, during pickup after either school or an extracurricular activity, and during sports events."

Massaging your baby is the perfect way to get connected! Touch is out first form of connection and just by placing your arms around your baby you begin to communicate your feelings and care for them. Why not take that a step further and encourage your baby's healthy development through massage?!
