On the one hand, these devices are indispensable tools for getting things done and staying connected to the adult world while in the midst of childcare. On the other hand, the culture is constantly telling parents, and particularly mothers, that they\u2019re too distracted by these devices, that smartphones are stealing precious attention away from our kids.
