[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. I’m with op. Maybe you don’t get a quiet lunch/shopping trip/stroller walk, but all that screen time at an early age is really bad for developing brains. [/quote]

But what's great for kids is judgy losers that give their parents the stink eye[/quote]

Sorry it hits a nerve. Nobody is perfect, I know I’m not either, but this is a very clear place where you can make a choice that can affect your child’s brain development, attention span, ability to self regulate emotions. [/quote]
Girl I hate screens for kids. My kid's behavior vastly improved when we took away her tablet. You are preaching to the choir. But I don't think giving a random parent the stink eye for giving their kid a phone for 20 minutes is okay either, I think it's really rude and unhelpful behavior (and the parent doesn't notice but look, you're still stewing about it, which can't be healthy)[/quote]

Wrong. We need to start judging these parents and make it socially unacceptable in our culture to give these kids screens. Hold each other to higher standards[/quote]

Teachers can confirm that children entering school today have, on average, much poorer language skills than they did 10 years ago. In addition, many are no longer able to play. Important skills for a successful school career are completely lacking. [/quote]

The school day has changed too - my. kids don't have two long recesses the way I did. My kids only last year started using a real language arts curriculum where they have to read passages longer than a paragraph and write essays. My kids still don't have textbooks which sucks, but the things going on at school are also not supporting growing children with longer attention spans.[/quote]

Intelligent parents don’t send their children to public school.[/quote]
