    I’m in total agreement with you Jill especially your comment about cringing when you see mommy’s cell phone in the tiny hands of a toddler. The statistics help us to understand just how serious this problem is.
    I know Jill personally and I can tell you that she’s not just preaching but walking her talk here! She’s very concerned about this dysfunction and is reaching out to help everyone that she can reach.
    Thank you Jill for this most informative blog.

    Thank you so much for your insights. It becomes so easy in a group-think kind of way, to avoid self reflection. The devices really aren’t the issue, addiction is. It’s subtle, patient and dedicated to one thing only…separation…from our essence, our vulnerability, our depth of feeling, our greatness. The change, if it’s to happen, is ours to make. I love your tips. Thanks for stirring this pot. It’s a message for our time.

    Wow I didn’t know some countries ban phones for children under 14! I see the problem all around me with the younger generation. It’s a pretty sad situation. It’s hard for parents to monitor their children since they are addicted too. I have noticed the more I am off the computer & phone the stronger I feel. Thanks Jill for such an informative article.

    Jill, I agree with much of what you posted. That being said, I am writing this on my cell phone. The upside of using our phones is that I can stay in closer contact with friends in other parts of the US and in other countries. The key is using good judgment with technology.
