[quote=Anonymous]They probably started when kids were babies. Whatever you introduce and use routinely, that becomes normalized. My 9 year old doesn't even ask for screen time because he's never had it. He immediately gravitates toward books, outdoor play, or just brainstorming typical silly boy things. He has 2 unrelated cousins of a similar age (7 and 10). The 7 year old wont even eat without the ipad on. The 10 year old is active and plays lots of sports, but when he is indoors, he is in front of the TV. I realize that I am extreme in the other direction. We have slowly started to add in screen time through limited computer games, typing games at the library, and tv time together. I still think iPads and kids having their own devices is not the way to go, but I know many people disagree. It still shocks me when I see parents handing their babies iphones. [/quote]
