[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Still not clearly what this has to do with Asians.[/quote] It was my first encounter since having a child where someone didn't act weird about iPhones/screentime (that it was bad). Didn't know if it was a cultural difference.[/quote] I don't think the vast majority of people are hung up about screen time and children. I think this is a rather unique attribute of the overly anxious helicopter parent set. It's fairly common in these parts, but in the rest of the country, where parents are more laid back and don't think every decision/action has long-term ramifications for their children's well-being, it's not a thing.[/quote] Actually not true. I was raised in California and ran free (1980s and 90's) -- but there was no watching television in our house and no computers of any kind. We had access to books and books alone. My DS is only nineteen-months and has never seen a screen of any kind. [/quote]
