Technology Etiquette

We've all seen it, and maybe our parents have been the guilty party a time or two: texting while driving, checking email while pushing a child on the swings, or checking his/her phone during a family meal.  I came across this article in Parenting Magazine this week, titled, "Are You Demonstrating Proper Technology Etiquette to Your Kids?"   As someone who is guilty of at least one of the above offenses at least once a week, I found this to be a helpful article. It's about prioritizing family time above all else, something for which we all could use a reminder.  And as we all know, children learn what they live.  How do we expect our children to be able to balance life in a digital society if we don't model that behavior for them?
