Don’t measure your child’s intelligence with the ability to use the gadgets, measure your child’s intelligence with the ability to think, talk, listen, play, sing, craft, converse, understand etc.

Remember the gadgets around you were developed by yesterday’s kids who didn’t use gadgets, who were just kids who went to playground and slept with bedtime stories

In future robot will listen but ensure child can speak

In future robot will ask but ensure child can converse

There is more in a child than a gadget, your child’s life is in your hands and not in the gadget you gave to your child
