In this new world we are living in we are all very dependent on our
electronic devices and we need to learn to use them responsibly. We all
know that we
do not text and drive, we also should not
talk on the phone and drive. Pull over and do your talking. As au pairs
you should not be on your devices while watching the kids. I know it is
temping to always be present on the net you my miss something! But it is
only the internet it will be there later as well. Your kids health,
safety and well being are much more important! If you are in the park or
at the pool and the kids are playing you should be there playing as
well not off on a bench on your electronic device. An accident can
happen at the blink of an eye, that is something you do not want to
share on social media!
As for host parents we need to present too. An electronic device is
just that a device, replaceable and without feelings! Live in the moment
and be present. Host parents set an example for their children and au
pairs. Put down the device and make memories in your head not on a
device.
My favorite quote that I heard from my mother " we are always alone but together on the internet"
