[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who say your children are addicted, why allow electronics (or the addictive aspects) at all? Or is the addiction benign in your opinion? [/quote] I don't understand the need to give electronics to kids. They don't need to watch videos or play games all day. [/quote] I don't know how old your child is, but at least that's how boys of my son's age socialize. If you don't let them play games or watch videos, you are cutting them off from their friends. Just like we might have discussed an episode of a TV show, they share and talk about memes and YouTubers. [/quote] Yep. Also as kids get older, it's essential for communication. When I was a tween or young teen in the 80s and had to stay after school for sports practice or go to a movie with my friends, there were payphones so I could call my mom to pick me up. Try finding a payphone at a school or movie theater now.[/quote]
