Technology tips to enhance family relationships

BabyLounge have published a press release outlining ways that technology can improve family relationships, particularly during holiday times when family bonding can be strained:

New technologies, properly utilized, can, as never before, bring families together, enhance family relationships and bridge the “digital generational divide,” reports BabyLounge, a shopping and community site for parents and expectant parents.

“As research shows, new technologies are more easily accepted and embraced by younger generations, which can drive a perceived wedge between children, parents and grandparents in a family,” says BabyLounge’s Shawn Collins, who is also a father of three children. “The proliferation of instant messaging, e-mail, text-messaging and gaming technologies can indeed create an intergenerational rift since they are unevenly embraced. The good news is that there are a range of new technologies out there that can have the opposite effect and actually help bring families and generations closer together and enhance family relationships. This is especially important during the holiday period when many family members may not have the opportunity to gather in the same location.”
