[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I would love to hear why some think limiting child's screen time is an easy solution that hurts in the long run. (And I'm not being sarcastic -- I really want to know your rationale.)[/quote] For older teens (not younger kids so much) it usually creates the following: 1. Massive power struggle 2. Motivation to sneak around/lie (which all kids do to a degree but kids who constantly get their phone taken/restricted I’ve noticed become almost pathological with it, it’s basically cutting them off from friends) and 3. Leads to parent as enemy in their minds, which often takes years into adulthood to unravel and 4. Unless you can get your kid to see that phone use makes them feel worse they will go right back to high use as soon as they aren’t being restricted, sometimes going overboard in response. [/quote]
