As tablets, smart phones, and large screen televisions connected to the internet transform households across the country, these devices become part of family gift giving. And, whether someone purchased a technology-related gift for your child or your child used a tablet that was a gift for you, it’s important to think about the quality of the context your children will interact with while using screen media as well as how much time you want your children to spend using tech toys and tools.
