How can new parents handle the digital age? Expert Q&A

As terms begin again, more and more schools are banning smart phones. But while the devices can be distracting, parents can find them useful for keeping tabs on their children. There are even devices out there now to track your children, without their knowledge, revealing their location as a blue dot on a smartphone map. 

So how far should parents of young children keep tabs on them? Is technology liberating or just another way of controlling children and increasing everyone's anxieties? When is the right time to give you children a phone at all? And is technology - from YouTube videos to iPad games - proving beneficial in their education or useful to you as a parent? 

The impact of technology on our children's early years is hard to know as we live through this unprecedented age of innovation. It can be almost impossible to know what's right.

So, join us at 1-2pm (BST) on Tuesday 25th September as an expert panel seek to hear your views and experiences and answer your questions.
