Ok, I will preface this post by saying that my wife and I are busy working parents, are both educated people and logically, are very aware of the concerns of exposing our 2 young children to excess technology –whether it be TV, iPads, etc –to simply keep the kids busy/occupied.  Of course we should only… [read more]

It seems logical that this generation of moms wonders what’s best for their kiddos as it relates to technology. After all, I sometimes as an adult wonder where the line should be drawn between “enhancing” our lives and letting it take over. I think I would fit into the category of anti-screen moms if I… [read more]

Dads can be awesome too.  Yes, it’s true.  While mom still rules, I would like to think that we dads are slowly getting our due.   In my own role with Kids & Co, and as one of the (rare) men in this still generally female-dominated world of childcare, my eyes have been opened even more… [read more]
