[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know a family whose child is constantly wanting an iPad, tv, video game, iPhone. The kid can’t eat without watching a video. As soon as we sit down, the kid says he is bored and is asking for a screen. When they have play dates, kids all play on their iPads. When we go to their home, my child is the only one not on a screen. Kids are age 8. My kid is age 9.

Is this just lazy parenting to just allow kids to be on screens all the time???[/quote]

The vast majority of Silicon Valley executives - the people producing all this garbage - do not let their own children touch a screen in the formative years. They, more than anyone, know how damaging screens are for neurological development in young children.

That is a derelict parent's problem, not theirs. Like feeding a small kid McDonalds every day. McDonalds executives aren't feeding their kids Big Macs and McNuggets every day either.

But all these executives love it when shitty parents give their kids screens and junk food. Bigger bonus for them.   [/quote]
