[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm reading a book titled the, The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt! Wow! I have a middleschooler who doesn't have a phone. One subject uses an online textbook. Just that alone opened us up to 2-3 hrs of computer use a day before we realized what was happening. Kid was completing homework super fast and then playing on the computer. We caught on after 2-3 months when kid's attention span tanked, behavior was an issue, etc. I cannot even imagine how things would have been with a phone thrown in the mix. [/quote] Kid was probably so excited to connect to the social aspect of school that she overdid. Either extreme, too much or zero, is not good. [/quote] No, that wasn't it. Kid doesn't have a phone. That doesn't mean they don't get tablet time on weekends. Kids can't control themselves when tablets are around. The situation gets worse the older they get. How old are your kids?[/quote]
