Are you a millennial mom?

Millennial moms are in fashion, they are those young moms (or not so young) who are up to date with everything. Millennials are the largest generation in Western history. They are those born between 1982 and 2005. As you well know, doing a quick calculation we are not talking about children precisely … this generation is labeled as being impatient and constantly connected to the Internet. Although it is also true that this generation has an advantage when it comes to raising the children of the digital world. They know very well what the digital world is!

Millennial moms have a great acceptance with technology And they tend to shamelessly put a little screen on their children every day. They don’t think that new technologies are a bad thing. To see from acceptance it can be or seem a bit extreme, although incorporating technology into their daily lives is something common that allows them to model positive digital habits of children.

Having good technology habits is actually a good thing for children’s education. Knowing when and how to be connected, discriminating information AND having critical thinking about what is seen on the Internet are things that millennial mothers teach.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MILLENNIAL MOM

Next we are going to talk about some characteristics of millennial mothers, maybe you feel identified with what we are going to tell you!

Download applications for your children

You know many of the applications for children and you like to have them on your phone in case you can use them at any time of emergency and child impatience. You choose the applications that attract the attention of your young children. But you also know that they are things that you should use in moderation for example, just a few minutes from time to time.

You use Snapchat to laugh with your young children

You use Snapchat but you don’t always use it to send snapshots to your contacts, but you use it to have a laugh with your children. You save those images or videos to later watch them with your children and laugh again.

Check everything on Google

If your child has anything that you consider abnormal before taking him to the doctor … you ask who knows everything! Google … Before you panic and worry anyone unnecessarily, you usually look at the most recognized health web pages. Then, once you have that information in your mind, you take your child to the doctor to tell you exactly what can happen and order treatment.

You are thinking of taking your son out on YouTube

You may not do it because you know that deep down it is not a good idea. Abusing the image of your children you do not know how it can affect their future, so you decide not to do it although it is something that you fantasize in your mind. You can even have a private channel just for family and friends. Although deep down you know that if it did not impact so much on his image or his privacy, he could be a great child star on the Internet … but you prefer to advocate for his safety and that he has a happy childhood and not subject to consumerism and materialism! You prefer to give your children real values ​​… although dreaming is free!

You are multitasking

You cook dinner while helping your children pick up toys and at the same time you are updating Instagram. You don’t know how you do it but you can do all of that at the same time. Well, it is known that mothers are multitasking almost without realizing it … although sometimes you have to apply the handbrake and slow down! That sometimes having so many things in mind only stresses us out. Sometimes it is not a bad thing to delegate to others and distribute the housework.

Your best friend is Alexa (or Siri)

If you are one of the 43% of millennials who have embraced the home automation revolution, you have no qualms about issuing voice commands for devices like the Amazon Echo and Google Home. The variety of entertainment, learning, and lifestyle enhancements they offer can be a true blessing to your families .
