[quote=Anonymous]My kids have some screen use but it's limited to almost nothing on weekdays, and as many PPs have said, almost everyone has a phone starting in about 6th grade. We spend a fair amount of time talking about the literature with them on how screen use affects people's brains and ability to focus and learn. Whenever I see a new article out, I show it to them and we discuss. We also talk (probably too much) about the girl down the street who got addicted to iPad games and became sullen and no fun to play with, and how too much screen use can make you unhappy and checked out from the people around you. So far, this approach is working. We'll see as they get into high school how it goes.[/quote]
