NAVIGATING ING A THE few years ago I saw a comic where a mom welcomes her child home from the first day of kindergarten, and asks how it went.

The child’s response went something like, “How do you think it went?

They didn’t even have Wi-Fi!” As someone who has b een providing cyber education and awareness sessions for parents, teachers, and students for over a decade, I thought the comic was cute. Kids are definitely using technology at younger and younger ages these days! The fact that kids are using technology at the earliest of ages really hit home for me during a continuing education session I conducted for elementary school teachers in Dallas, TX. I showed this comic on the overhead… when one of the teachers raised her hand, and proceeded to share a story with the audience describing how (earlier that year) one of her Pre-K students had asked her for the school Wi-Fi passcode!

So there you have it, our children have once again leaped ahead of society when it comes to technology ; this time beating out my comic strip by an entire school year!

Today’s children are so technologically savvy that adults make the assumption they know more than they actually do when it comes to technology usage.

Kids are often referred to as “Digital Natives”, and though they may be, they are also “Digital Naïves” as well.

As Digital Natives, kids today are born into a world full of technology, and socialized with technology in all aspects of their lives as they grow and develop. It is hard to find a toy today that doesn’t have an online or technology-linked component and it’s no longer good enough to get a

are born naïve on many, if not all, aspects of life we are responsible for morphing them from Digital Naïves into empowered digital citizens.

It all starts at home. Even before they can walk and talk they start mimicking the family that surrounds them. We teach are children to say “please” and “thank you” before they can talk with the hope that when they do start communicating in sentences, they w i l l b e p ol ite members of our family and

society.

We need to do the same with technology.

How many times have you seen a family at a restaurant where everyone is staring into a glowing screen and not communicating with the company they keep, who are within arm’s reach? Or the kids gazing at the glowing screen while mom and dad try to enjoy their dinner. Trying to find the right technology balance for our children is hard. It is also something our parents did not have to deal with, so advice from previous CONTINUED ON PAGE 3…

technology (unlike some adults), this doesn’t mean they know enough to make appropriate decisions while using all the technology the world has to offer. Hence, they are also Digital Naïves. It is our job as parents, with the support of schools and community organizations, to ensure our children are empowered with the right information to make smart decisions as they grow up with technology.

continued from front cover… generations on childrearing with technology does not directly apply.

Based on all the research I’ve done on technology and its impact on our children as they develop into valued and contributing members of society, I started implementing Home Technology Rules in our home. Of course my wife was involved in the decision to implement the rules, and we both strive to enforce them as often as we can. At first glance, it may seem the home technology rules we implemented are arbitrary; but they are all based on research related to how technology impacts a developing child. Be warned, these are not the technology rules you may have seen in the past!

These technology rules are posted in our home. We have reviewed them with our children.

We hope they understand we are doing this for their benefit.

Do you know which rule is the hardest for our family?

Number 4: NO technology at mealtime.

With every ping, ding, buzz and flash we are all tempted to check on the latest happening of our friends and family who are not sitting with us at the moment. My wife and I agreed we would put our phones away during mealtime AND remind each other to stop if we slip and start to check our devices. We have also learned, it’s easier if devices are not within arms reach of a ny o n e d u r i n g mealtime. The distance helps fight the temptation to check, post, and/

or respond to happenings outside of our home.

The next hardest item on the list of home technology rules is number 8: 30 minute technology limit (exceptions - movies, school work, etc). To clarify, the time limitation is not for a day, it is for a given activity. The exception for the rule comes into play when research is required, homework is done using technology, or it is movie time.

It i s a l l to o e a s y for parents to us e technology as a digital babysitter, but we need to work on h av i ng ou r

children experience varied aspects of life without staring into a glowing screen. The best way for us to teach our children how to integrate technology into their lives is by modeling what we expect of them.

So find some time in your day to put down the technology, look your child in the eye, tell them you love them and give them a big hug. No technology can do that.

Jonas and Fiona plan the escape

Giving the Past, Receiving the Future The Weinstein Company Rated PG-13 • Released on Home Video

S

eeing life differently is a primary theme of the young-adult feature film The Giver, but director Philip Noyce turns an exciting and provocative story into a predictable, monochromatic cliché. Set in a future utopian community and shot mainly in black and white, The Giver could have been a tantalizing film about a controlled society upended by a young rebel, but instead of a profound punch or a revealing climax, there are only worn-out stereotypes and an unsatisfying ending.

After an unexplained, ruinous past is mentioned in the open-

ing voiceover, we’re told that all memories were removed from The Community of survivors in order for a group of Elders to assume control of everyday life. We then meet Jonas, a teenage boy who is chosen to receive the knowledge and memories of the past from The Giver. When Jonas learns about human history, emotion, and death, he begins to question the stability of his bland, regimented society. Using a map he discovers in The Giver’s house, Jonas plans to escape The Community and breach The Boundary so the memories can be restored. Instead of allowing

Jonas’s dissatisfaction with The Community to propel the narrative, Noyce repeatedly returns to the conflict between the Chief Elder, played by Meryl Streep, and The Giver, played by Jeff Bridges. The battle between these powerhouse actors leaves the audience wondering if the film is really about Jonas. The cameo by Taylor Swift, who plays The Giver’s daughter in

a hologram, was also questionable unless Noyce didn’t have confidence that the story alone would draw a sufficient audience.

The Giver will likely entertain older fans who are familiar with Lois Lowry’s books, but watch out for a couple of scenes that could be disturbing for younger viewers and which earned the film a PG-13 rating.

ovies about cooking usually end with me making dinner reservations at my favorite bistro, but the new feature film The HundredFoot Journey, starring Helen Mirren and Manish Dayal, relies on the sweet and spicy clash of French and Indian cultures rather than just the allure of a well-prepared meal. Of course there are memorable moments of haute-cuisine that will surely make you hungry, but this captivating story of a displaced family rebuilding their home in a foreign country also has a perfect blend of music, laughter, romance, and passion for life.

The Kadams have endured tragedy and upheaval, but they finally land safely in a small French village where Papa Kadam decides to open an Indian restaurant. Second son, Hassan, who describes himself as “a cook without papers,” wants to continue his culinary education and is befriended by the beautiful Marguerite, a sous-chef in the famous local restaurant. Unfortunately, Papa Kadam and the owner of the competing restaurant, Madam Mallory, become entangled in a minor civil war that unexpectedly turns ugly and threatens the Kadam’s livelihood.

Eventually, Hassan’s talent in the kitchen lands him under the tutelage of Madam Mallory, and his free-wheeling experimentation with classic French cuisine earns her restaurant a second Michelin star. A truce comes about between the aging restauranteurs and Hassan is given a chance to go to Paris to dazzle the refined palates of the critics. But when he leaves Marguerite, his family, and his identity behind in the village, he disconnects from the elements that give his gastronomic art its zest.

Although the outcome of the film is fairly predictable and we know there’ll be a happy ending, the fun in The Hundred-Foot Journey comes from its endearing characters, the uplifting story, and a surprising fusion of opposing cultures.

that you need to be the safety net at this point, not to help your child avoid the danger of failure. Make sure he knows you will be there if you are needed, and when you are, normalize the bumps.

Motivating Pre-Teens to Stick-to-It W

elcome to “Balance” – our NEW segment that examines common, but challenging, issues facing readers and families – and offers helpful guidance from experts who live and work in our community. This month’s question is answered by the counselors at Eugene Therapy. Have a question for our next segment? Send it to Sandy@oregonfamily.com Q: Each of my family members made – and shared – a New Year’s goal or resolution. Already, my pre-teen is ready to give up. This happens often, when even the slightest challenge or bit of opposition presents itself. How can I gently encourage more fortitude and self-discipline?

Parenting a pre-teen can be particularly challenging as you balance the vulnerability of childhood with the independence of a teenager.

It can be difficult, but your role is to remain positive while you gently guide the way.

REMAIN POSITIVE • Resist criticism, even if it is constructive. Kids hear so many messages conveying doubts and limits.

Your unconditional support instills confidence and makes it more likely your pre-teen will achieve her goals.

• Make it a habit to praise effort rather than results. (For example, “I like how hard you worked on your math homework” instead of “Good job, you got 100%!”)

• Avoid establishing a “rescue pattern” by swooping in only at times of stress or perceived failure. Instead, help your pre-teen on a regular basis, before crisis or doubt has struck. This makes it easier for him to ask for help because it is less likely to be seen as an admission of dire need.

• Believe in your child’s ability to succeed with her goal.

Even if you have doubts, identify the points in her favor and champion success.

Remember

NORMALIZE CHALLENGE AND DIFFICULTY • Everyone faces challenges and suffers failures. But in the pre-teen realm, it’s handled more smoothly in public. Once home, the upset can be experienced unchecked.

Allow some time and space for tears and you will be helping to remove the stigma from failure.

• Positively reinforce even the slightest bit of “perseverance,” even if it is unrelated to what you see as your child’s goals. For example, “I’m impressed. I could see that you became frustrated while you were practicing, but you pushed through until you got it!”

• Find something your pre-teen is really good at and help him to understand all the steps and hard work he made to get to that point. Extend that to the challenge at hand.

At this point in your pre-teen’s life, the stakes seem high, but you know better. It can be tricky to keep this in perspective without diminishing the importance or significance of the goal. You might find that it is helpful to identify key points along the way that demonstrate the traits you are hoping to cultivate, and recognize those. By doing this, you’ll be honoring the hard work of one leg of the race, despite the final race outcome.

CELEBRATE SUCCESSES – EVEN SMALL ONES • Practice setting smaller, more manageable goals and celebrate those achievements when they arise.

• Try to focus on what motivates the pre-teen to make positive choices and consider setting healthy reward motivators along the way.

• Try applying these guidelines for all types of challenges and goals – not just the really big ones. This helps instill good practices and habits and makes it more likely that your child will establish patterns to rely upon in the future, when you’re not there to guide her.

Finally, be open about your own personal challenges. Let your child know that everyone struggles, and allow her to witness you accessing tools like family support, positive thinking, and plain old endurance to see it through and preserver.

eyed infant. Baby Wendy was like a dour Amish graybeard sitting-up in the parlor chaperoning his nubile daughter and the town drunk. Who would doze off first? The answer varied night to night. Sometimes we’d outlast the baby, but would be too tired for anything beyond lying side by side, as though we’d been washed up on a beach.

Other times, the baby faded early, and we’d find ourselves both awake in bed. But Betsy would have trouble making the transition. She’d continue talking about the children when we had supposedly turned amorous.

My feelings for my wife arrange themselves into a sort of spectrum.

At one end are the bravely s h a r e d t r au m a s a n d worries of parenthood.

In the middle of the continuum is our joy in babies’ smiles and the laughter of fluffy-haired tots. Way at the other end is my first sight of Betsy – at a party, with a face and physique that called to me from across a crowded room.

It’s an image that will color my perception of her even when we are both as gnarly as a pair of snapping turtles.

All of this made me glad to be in bed with my wife, but only parts of it inspired desire. And a rundown of which kid ate what for dinner and descriptions of the baby’s latest rash were arousal’s antidote.

I never asked for anything fancy or kinky, but I did have one request. Call it a requirement. “No more talking.”

Mom, Dad and the Anti-Sex League

could almost remember a time when my wife would tear off her clothes and it did not mean that the baby had just thrown up on her. But a lack of privacy and fear of discovery don’t have the same aphrodisiac effect on parents that they do on teenagers.

Par t of our problem was a permissive policy that let children drop into our bed at all hours. When I was a kid, the only time I was ever allowed into my parents’ bed was right after a nightmare. We tried that rule, but the girls responded by claiming an improbable number of nightmares. One night 3-year-old Sally climbed into our bed saying, “I had a bad dream about a cracker.

It was making crumbs.” At dawn I declared our rule unenforceable and our bed continued to be a good place for neither passion nor repose. It was more the household equivalent of an all-night cafe, lacking only a blearyeyed cop, sitting between husband and wife, soaking a doughnut in a cup of coffee.

But Baby Wendy was even more of a deterrent. Evenings were her season of discontent. From 5 to midnight, she’d cry often and nurse like a disgruntled diner who was

about to send something back. (And sometimes she would.)

But we never gave up. In some of the more leisurely and sensuous parts of the Orient, foreplay begins with kissing of the fingertips and goes on, step by step, to consume the amount of time that ought properly to be spent on dinner and a movie. In the temple of love that we call home, the approach was just as time-consuming and infinitely more subtle.

My wife and I would set out on circuitous and divergent paths to romance right after dinner.

While Betsy contended with the baby, I’d start our two older daughters on their own long, winding path toward Dreamland. Sally, age 4, was fairly businesslike if you could catch her and were willing to let her wear whatever inappropriate garment she chose. But 7-year-old Marie would dreamily remove her clothes and put on pajamas so slowly that only time-lapse photography could detect movement. Then Sally would gnaw briefly on someone’s toothbrush and Marie would polish her teeth one by one with frequent rinsings and

spittings. Then we three would lie down in our big bed and we’d turn out the lights for story time. The bedtime stories I’d make up were long because they tended to ramble along in the hope that an ending would present itself, but the girls

seemed to like them. Eventually, the tale would grind to a halt, and the girls and I would get up and conduct our nightly search upstairs and downstairs for Marie’s teddy bear and Sally’s skunk. Then they would kiss their mother and baby sister and I’d finally tuck them into bed. But “finally” was not always the right word. About 40 percent of the time they’d get loose and come downstairs and require more tucking and sometimes a hard word to hold them in place.

Then I’d go downstairs and join Betsy in front of the TV to play a waiting game with our wide-
