Are Portable Gadgets Right for Your Child?

Remember when we were children and the most advanced electronic toy we owned was Teddy Ruxpin. Those days are long gone as kids now regularly cart around hundreds of dollars in portable video games, mp3 players, and cell phones. While these gadgets are marketed heavily to children they are not inexpensive and hold the possibility for misuse. It would be easy if there were clear age guidelines for when you can trust your kid with these items, but it is an issue of personal maturity and responsibility. It gets even harder when your child knows more about the technology then you do. This simple guide is going to give you some of the basics of these devices and give you some questions to discuss with your child before taking the portable plunge.
