[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This years K class was a mess, so yes. The kids have attention issues like teachers have never seen before. They were raised on ipads while parents scrambled. In some ways, the kids born in 2020 and later might be better off because day cares and stuff eventually opened.[/quote]

Yet another example of a parenting issue.

I had 2018 and 2019 babies who were 1.5 and 7 months when the pandemic began, and I worked full-time.

My kids were definitely not raised on screens. My daughter did watch around 30 minutes of TV each day, but that was the only screentime she got.

Parenting is HARD, and I understand that the pandemic made some things even harder, but giving up and having the attitude that kids should be raised on screens, or that it is too late to change screentime even if there was a little too much screentime in 2020, is lazy and negligent.

Also, it has been 5-6 years since the pandemic. If parents haven't worked to help their kids build skills over the past 5-6 years, they are failing as parents. No excuses.
