[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.

I can understand and see your point, but I think kids are consumed by electronics.  Go to a restaurant and it's like instead of having children who can behave in public, we just give them a ipad or whatever to distract them and not be bored.  What was wrong with being bored as a kid?  Sometimes life is boring.  I think there is an excessive level of use when it comes to children/tweens/teens with electronics and technology. [/quote]
