You know you’re raising a child of the ‘Digital Age’ when…

* Your 2 year old has their own iPhone/iPad/iPod

* The gift of choice for kids’ parties is an iTunes voucher

* You take your iPad/iPhone everywhere in case your child is bored/frustrated/content/behaving/misbehaving/sitting still/running around…

* Your toddler knows how to work the shortcuts on your iPad better than you do

* You have an entire screen on your iPhone dedicated to kids apps

* Your toddler knows how to unlock your phone, find said screen and work every app like a pro

* You tell your child to go read a book so they pull out the iPad and open iBooks

* You have 4 remote controls and your 2 year old knows which one works Apple TV, normal TV, Foxtel and the DVD player

* “Phone” and “Computer” are 2 of the first 20 words in your toddler’s vocabulary

And my favourite that occurred in my house…

* You observe your 2 year old trying to teach your 4 month old how to work an iPhone by taking their little hand and moving it across the screen. PRICELESS.
