SocialistVibes01@lemmy.ml 4 days agoAnd you’re wrong. Let the guy’s kid have the chance of basking in the sun snd develop muscles. His/her intellect will develop grom interacting with the real would and cultivate intuition. How out of touch with reality you jave to be to suggest electronic games before tral human interactive games in his development? How the say nowadays, touch some fucking grass.

In most countries by the age of 6 or 7 most kids would be in school and sat in a chair for most of their waking hours. What sort of Captain Fantastic utopia with with sunshine, rainbows and developing muscles do you imagine contemporary childhood to be?
If by the age of 15, as the original comment suggested, a kid has never touched a screen they would be ostracised by their classmates and most likely have lasting trauma.
Of course it’s nice to spend weekends and holidays outside, but a blanket ban on screentime is something else completely.
Then again, parents are entitled to their own opinions and as I’ve said, it’s none of my business what these opinions are.

I reckon it is less of my choice than I would like. His peers and friends will have a development, and it is beneficial to follow social norms and standards. That being said i still prefer that kids only get ipads and smartphones at around 15.
