As a parent of 3 boys, the biggest challenge today are personal electronics. Every parent I know has immense challenges setting guidelines on screen time. In this new tablet/smartphone era we are really in new and unfamiliar territory. Yes, we had our nintendos and our handhelds. Yes we had tv. No we didn't have networked devices in our pockets and incredibly addictive games like clash of clans, etc. I don't know what it all means - I just know it's a big factor of discontent in most families I see. Helicoptering of course has it's issues - but I think it's secondary to this new tidal wave of screen time.
