[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sigh. It’s not the screens at school. It’s the screens at HOME.

I understand it’s more comfortable to blame teachers/schools when the actual culprits are the PARENTS, but let’s get real.[/quote]

Well, we already don’t have screens at home, so wha do you suggest we do?[/quote]

DP. If you don't have screens at home, your kids will be at a HUGE advantage starting school and throughout their years in school. Get them into activities that are incompatible with sitting around and scrolling on a screen all day and keep encouraging it even if it means they change interests frequently until they find something that really clicks. Sports, music, theater, martial arts, Lego, building stuff and helping with DIY as they get older, painting, fixing cars, literally anything that keeps them busy and preferably at least somewhat physically active. Keep them off phones until they're teens and off screens at home for as long as you can. Yes, it's more work in the short term but it pays off big time.
