[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watched a TON of TV growing up (but also did sports and choir and hung with friends) and I still don’t think my screen time would be comparable to today’s smart phone addicts and gamer teens. I also walked to school, spent a ton of time without adult supervision, babysat other kids at age 11+ and went to a tech- free summer camp. I think the time spent with other kids being bored and figuring out what to do is what is really good for critical thinking and brain development, navigating social stuff without constant adult interference in a minimally structured environment, and the chance to be independent is what today’s kids will lack, even if they watch less TV as elem schoolers and get more “enrichment”.[/quote] Yep yep yep[/quote]
