No tv for a 5-7 year old?  Is this a real post?[/quote]

Yes.   People who read articles.     I was visiting with family and their four year old is extremely limited to electronics.  When he visits he can watch TV.  There was a program with Mario Bro was played. Not YouTube where you see the person.  This four year old is obsessed with Mario and stared at the TV transfixed for a couple of hours.  He was so into it he was practically drooling because he forget to close his mouth and swallow.

Twenty years ago kids played video games without so much obsession.  It was just another activity.  My son and his best friend played a lot together.   They had other interests too but at four years old they had completed the game that the current four year old could only watch, not participate.   [/quote]

Are you saying that screens and games have changed and are way worse than they were 20 years ago, so screen time should be delayed now? Or are you saying the current 4 year old was only allowed to watch TV constantly should have been allowed to play video games? Or his screen time overall was too limited and that’s why he was obsessed? I can’t tell what you’re trying to say here…
