As parent of a 7 year old…you’ll figure it out. We try to avoid an “abstinence only” approach to tech (which doesn’t work once the kid goes to school or a friends house), and be very deliberate about what is allowed and not allowed.
You’ll figure it out, but take the time you have now to discuss with your spouse what your approach is going to be.
Good luck!
- beedeebeedee 3y agoThis is a tangent, and I am not a parent yet, but when I am, I've been thinking I would follow Ernst Haeckel's saying "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" for computing. I.e., little kids get Commodore 64's, 12 year olds get old Macs, then teenagers get late 90's desktops, then finally iPhones and modern computers when they're 18.
