[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Still not clearly what this has to do with Asians.[/quote]

It was my first encounter since having a child where someone didn't act weird about iPhones/screentime (that it was bad). Didn't know if it was a cultural difference.[/quote]

I don't think the vast majority of people are hung up about screen time and children. I think this is a rather unique attribute of the overly anxious helicopter parent set. It's fairly common in these parts, but in the rest of the country, where parents are more laid back and don't think every decision/action has long-term ramifications for their children's well-being, it's not a thing.[/quote]

Not wanting a very young child to stare at a dumb screen for hours a day is "an attribute" of the educated set.  The set who 1) reads beyond the 140-characther tweet and finishes the whole medical journal article and 2) possesses critical thinking skills to assess the validity of the brain research.

Many such people in the District, Bethesda, Arlington.   [/quote]
