[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The beer is a great example. If an adult is drinking a couple of beers twice a month with his buddies that is NBD. Would it be physically healthier to not drink socially in this way? And that social connection is valuable. OP being able to get out of the house with her family is valuable.[/quote]

I agree that it’s a great example. If an adult NEEDS beers to attend a social function or otherwise is out of control, there’s a problem.

If your kid is perfectly content with or without an iPad, and it’s a matter of wanting to use one once or twice a month, sure. But if your kid is unable to handle themselves without the crutch of an addictive substance (which plenty but not all content consumed on screens is addictive) abstinence might be important.

I mean tons of adults feel they need one or two beers to fully enjoy certain social functions. Is that awesome? No! Does it suggest a risk of addiction? Sure, it kind of depends on how often you need it. Moderate drinking once or twice a month is not alcoholism.[/quote]
