[quote=Anonymous]I find it odd that many people are defending letting their kids have excessive screen time by saying "well schools do it." Yes they do, which is why we limit our kids' screen time so much when they aren't in school. the point here is that kid's NEED to learn how to spend 20 minutes in a restaurant or waiting room or anywhere either engaging with their parents or actively entertaining themselves with a quiet activity like drawing, playing with magnetiles, or reading/looking at a book. This is an important life skill they will need for decades to come, and if both schools AND parents just park kids on screens to avoid actually teaching them how to do it, we're going to wind up with a whole society of zombies (yes, even more than we already do). Someone has to teach kids how to function without a screen in front of their face, and if it's not going to be schools than parents need to redouble their efforts.[/quote]
