[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people on dcum are really terrified of down time. [/quote] I think parents are not at all terrified of "downtime." I think parents are terrified of the consequences of letting their children stare at their phone screens for 9+ hours a day.[/quote] In many cases, that’s a consequence of not letting kids have downtime when they are young[/quote] No, it is not. Phones are addictive, especially to teens. (I say this as a high school teacher who has experience with hundreds of teens every year.)[/quote] PP. Also a teacher (elementary) and I see both sides of the spectrum- kids who have constant activities and no time to play and those who start on excessive screen time very, very young and both have negative effects. Kids who don’t learn how to occupy themselves when young can’t magically do it as teens. [/quote]
