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.
