Actually, personally I feel there's a balance to everything. It
depends on the individual parent and what they can provide for the
kid. Using modern technology to bring out the best in your children
is actually something good as some educational software are really
useful, an advantage which kids in the olden times do not have.
However, having lack of control over it leads to children
overemphasizing on material needs and getting bombarded in an IT
frenzy at a young age.... Singaporean parents are in general more
kiasu, hence putting a lot of pressure on their kids since a young
age, hence making them "lose" their childhood.... alas.. I guess
everything needs moderation.... understanding your children and
knowing what works for them is most important.... I find this
website very informative for parents.... maybe can take a look --
