I wonder if the concerns about unfettered screen time are going to get validated or is just going to be like the kids who weren't allowed to watch the Simpsons because they thought Bart was too defiant. I imagine a good gauge would be observations of public high school teachers over the next 5-10 years as well, since they'll definitely have kids that had sat on front of a tablet since they were infants.

Entirely anecdotal but my wife's been a middle school teacher for 11 years now and sees a huge difference in academic performance just by which 6th/7th graders in her class have phones or not, or least which ones have them on them at all times.

phones are poison. I think "screen-time" is a separate item entirely though and my family lives all around the world and we spend a ton of time on zoom and my kid is going to see me staring at a screen for 8 hours a day doing work so idk...I've kinda baked it in and won't be avoiding them. I will though be keeping phones away and doing everything in my power to eliminate advertising from reaching him.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume it's more of a symptom than a cause though. The parents who limit screen time and don't give the kids everything they want are probably also more likely to insist on doing homework (and have dinner as a family without TV, I think that has been shown to have a big impact too.)

I have low-level anxiety about the screen stuff. Ours is just eight months old so obviously not a problem yet, but man does she BEAM onto a screen any time it's within her field of view. We're also terrible examples because we have jobs on screens and hobbies on screens and are often guilty of looking at our small screens instead of giving full attention to the young one. As for the Naruto run, it always seemed like an excellent way to ensure you hit the ground face first if you were to trip.

If you make screens a rarity, then the kids will always zero in on them anytime they're around. I've had screens around since my daughter's birth, and never restrict her time. She has always been good at managing her own screen time, just playing for a little bit at a time before wanting to do something more active. If you make it a Thing, it'll be a Thing.

I heard of a family that used restrictions on books instead of screen time, which made the kids super into the forbidden books. But yeah, screens are super addictive, kids are gonna want them.

imo it's not so much the screen itself as what they're being exposed to via it. for all the good kids shows etc out there, there is also a lot of media that is exploitative of dopamine hits to keep young minds hooked

In more uplifting news, I've caught the five year old reading the starter books we got at the library to himself with no adults in the room. Kid's gonna do alright, even when he inevitably gets a computer and becomes a poster.

By their parents admission they were online unrestricted, even during meals. In a way it was kind of funny especially around Trump and the 2016 election, but definitely not a good thing. I just read an interactive book with the two year old on a kindle fire. I think that sort of stuff is okay.

I also admittedly grew up mainlining unfiltered internet throughout my childhood, which included a firehose of insanely inappropriate content (rotten and ogrish come to mind). It certainly wasn't right that I was exposed to that and I don't want that for my kid whatsoever...but also I think the long-term impact of exposure to certain content is overstated. None of it was really skinner-box tuned or high-speed as today, and there's a different dimension today too with how kids' peers are also publicly communicating their lives and drama around on social in a way that kinda makes school drama and trouble a 24/hour public event, rather than being able to be turned off after school ends.

The way that I've approached the internet is kinda like how my homeland treated the outdoors and witchcraft. When I was a kid I did a few scout walks and militia trainings. I will seriously teach him digital survival techniques at similar milestones as when I was taught outdoors survival and spiritual survival. I think internet is about as responsible and appropriate. I would teach them what sites are safe to navigate, where you can get warez, how to spot the difference between screenshots, AI generated pictures, and lossy reposts.

I whitelisted botw after I got all the armor upgraded plus DLC stuff so my kid can just play botw as a horse and cooking game. if it had real fishing it would be her only game. she puts on majora’s mask and doesn’t have to fight. she does get upset bolson won’t get off her lawn at link’s house.

my daughter seems to be developing latent trolling powers, at drop-in playtime she will find the grumpiest toddler in the room and gently offer them toys which they will usually knock away or try to push her away, or take toys near the toddler which causes them to get mad because the baby is taking 'their' toys. she completely ignores their reaction while their parent is trying to get their kid to relax and apologize to me, but really i probably should be apologizing. she's growing more powerful by the day.
