Children's access to new technologies seems to have no brakes. Before, the concern was limited to children spending too many hours in front of the television, while today there is great anxiety among parents about the contact that children, including babies, have with smartphones and tablets.
When it comes to the education of children, as much as we want to do it well, there is always something that eludes us and something new that surprises us, right?

But what we cannot allow is that children spend so much time in front of a screen that they stop doing and learning other essential things.
Traditionally we know the pacifier as an object to which babies cling to suck (as its name implies), in order to calm them in a stressful or painful situation.

If your son or daughter asks you if the Tik Tok app can be downloaded, what would you say? I am assuming that your child is small, because if he has already reached adolescence and has his own mobile, it is likely that he will not ask you about this or that application.
