Jumpy is good no doubt, but too much of dependence on gadgets deprive the kids from the human love and care which they need the most.
A continuous touch with electronic wave can harm his overall health.
Good for occasional use, but a continuous usage can make it monotonous.Final Thoughts
Today, we cannot walk backwards when technology has become a part and parcel of our life. But we need to remember that extreme of anything is bad. While we can surely make technology a tool for safety and use it for helping ourselves in some menial tasks, we cannot expect our kids to be happy and growing, just because we got her a set of smartwatch like Jumpy. With pun intended, we cannot jump our responsibilities in exchange of a set of Jumpy on those small wrists, when they want us to hold them by it.

A good innovation indeed, but with a question. Is it good for the kids to be so much dependent on the gadgets and gizmos? It could give rise to several issues later. A few of them could be lack of feeling of love and affection. As far as my experience goes (with my son), they crave for the parental interaction with them more than what these gadgets can offer them. Well, too much of anything could be bad. Having said that, I guess it is a good gadget if you handle with care.
