[quote=Anonymous]We are only beginning to understand how these items are negatively effecting developing brains.  I think it is unwise to cave to the peer pressure of its generational or they need to learn.

Additionally, schools want it both ways.  They want kids off the phones,  yet, allow school sports etc, to organize through socials.  First step, call the schools out on  that nonsense.  They can easily arrange things through email or constant contact.

Next, we need to make it uncool to be a screen addict.  If society has been largely effective at reducing cigarette use, it can accomplish this too.  All the teens I know will drop it by sundown if they think old people ( their parents) are into it.  Look what happened to Facebook.  Start getting involved intheir chats etc., account will be closed at turbo speed.

And unfortunately, it will take diligent parenting, I know who has the time to fight that hard with teens.  But, the notion that it is unavoidable is just ridiculous.  We need to reset the expectations and whatch the emerging studies carefully before we accept these things in our childs lives.
