The TODAY Parenting Team is a community where anyone can write posts, ask questions and share advice.

Parents, you’ve got questions, we’ve got answers.

Or just as likely, we’ve got questions and you’ve got answers.

Challenge

Kids and Technology

Moms and dads, how do you handle technology and social media with your kids? Do you have a system of rules and limits? Or do rules and limits have a funny way of falling by the wayside? Tell us about any creative ways in which you use technology. We want to hear from you about what works, what doesn’t work, and everything in between!



(This challenge is brought to you in partnership with "Dot.", a new original series about kids and technology premiering Oct. 22 on Sprout. TODAY and Sprout are both part of NBCUniversal.)


Thanks for joining the conversation. Remember, your photos, content and comments may be used on the TODAY show and its digital and social platforms. You must be a parent or guardian of any minor featured in any content that you post or you must have parental permission to do so.
