[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's absolutely fine to forbid it. Find fun alternatives that don't involve a screen. And in general: to all you parents limiting screen time for children as much as humanly possible...you have my deep respect. Children do not need technology. They need to play with real people, go outside, run, explore, be healthy etc. Screens are anything BUT healthy so stay away from them as long as you possibly can.[/quote]

Yes because god forbid you should prepare them for the world they actually live in, which involves interaction with tech on almost every level.

I don't get you people with the either/or attitude. Are you kids delayed in some way? Because the kids I know are able to play outside AND enjoy video games. They explore the woods AND have a favorite TV show...

The screens are unhealthy argument is DUMB and OTT.  How many kids have watched TV since it was invented? How many have played video games and used computers? Look, civilization marches on.[/quote]
