[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not anti screens but they’re limited. She is not part of the “ popular girl group” but she has friends. She’s more of an in person person. 
I think screens are ok as long as they are not the constant default.

Yes by middle school the girls with more open access to screens and tiktok and YouTube shorts and insta and snap or whatever are more likely to be popular and into makeup and fashion and the latest crazes than the low-screen kids.

I'm okay with my kid not being part of this and they mostly are.

In elementary school my kids got library books about Star wars and Pokemon and whatever was the cool screen thing at the moment. They played Minecraft and Roblox at their cousins' house but didn't get it at home.

You can opt out. It may be more work on the part of the parents but it's also really nice to not have to fight about screen limits when it's just not a part of the day.

I'm certain that if my kids had more access to screens they would have read a lot fewer books. Maybe they'd be "cooler" but they each found good groups of friends, one gravitating more to them bookish kids and one more sporty.[/quote]
