It’s not unusual to see tablets and touch screen devices in the hands of young children and adolescents. Whether they’re used for education or leisure, there’s no debate that these digital tools have changed the way our children experience the world.  As parents, we need to ensure there is a healthy balance between “screen time” and real time.  This holiday season, consider these low-tech gift ideas that will foster learning, creativity, more social interaction, and good ol’ fashion fun!
