Yup. That’s good parenting. It’s crazy how young parents allow their kids to be on the internet. I do believe Minecraft is a good early game for a child though.

Yeah a few hours of computer or console time isn’t too bad. As long as it’s limited.

Excessive screen media usage in children can have both positive and negative impacts on their development. Regarding cognitive development, screens have the potential to enhance education and learning. However, studies have shown that excessive screen time and media multitasking can negatively affect executive functioning, sensorimotor development, and academic outcomes. Early screen exposure has been associated with lower cognitive abilities and academic performance in later years.

We’re seeing the latter almost exclusively.
