With technology becoming a greater part of today’s society there is no reason why any teen should be left behind! If you’re mother or father to a teen these are 10 gadgets you definitely won’t want them to miss out on!
1. E-reader– With enormous textbooks, backbacks get extremely heavy. Save your teen’s back and reading skills all at the same time!
2. Cell Phone– Communication with your teen is key so why not speak to them in their native language: text?
3. Laptop/Netbook: 8th grade is usually the last year when school papers are allowed to be hand written. Grades are important, don’t make them lose points for something as trivial as handwriting an essay.
4. Portable Gaming System– Adults still believe gaming rots the brain but in reality it keeps teens out of trouble and could even teach them necessary life and logic skills.
5. Belkin Surge Protector– Don’t let a power outage ruin your teen’s devices; get guaranteed assurance that they will be okay.
6. Casio G-shock– Time management is essential as a teen and honestly speaking, so is being stylish!
7. External Rechargeable Battery Pack- A dead device won’t do your teen any good, save them the hassle of always looking for a wall outlet!
8. Digital Camera– A digital camera will allow your teen to remember their childhood even when it’s an extremely distant memory!
9. Polaroid Pogo Instant Printer– No ink, no wait, no mess and just $29.99. What more can you ask for?
10. iPod Shuffle– Music is a stress reliever and this little guy is rugged so drops won’t stress you.
