These are challenging times for parents as we live in a society where face-to-face communication is often compromised by the Internet, smartphones, and other technologies.

The unparalleled reality is that these new forms of communication can exploit the dynamics of personal contact, and this can be detrimental to the families, diminishing the loving presence between parents and children.

When used properly, technology empowers individuals... But, it can never be society's substitute for physical presence.
