The NYTimes is running a series of articles on your brain on computers. Its recent article is about effects of parent's technology use on early childhood development.
Here is the link to the article.
From a research perspective, there is no consensus on this question. Although some researchers (e.g., Sherry Turkle from MIT) found evidence of feelings of hurt, competition, and jealously in kids. Other researchers say that smartphone and laptop use by parents may not necessary be such a bad thing. Their argument is these devices allow parents to be more physically present at home with children.
What is your household like when it comes to technology use?
