I'm just glad I grew up before all this. I feel so bad for the kids today. It's a different world.
I had no idea this was such a big issue. I'll have to have a talk with my kids about this soon. Thanks for the heads-up and the tips
This is a big issue in my family. I actually set a schedule for my son to only have his phone for a certain amount of time. It's helped us all manage the technology balance
I've been trying to set a 'no phones in the bedroom' rule, but it's tough. My daughter is 12 and thinks it's unfair. I'm trying to explain the adverse effects but it's a struggle.
As a teacher, I see the effects of this firsthand. Kids come to school exhausted and distracted. It's a real problem, and it's getting worse. We need more support from parents and schools to address this issue.
I think the issue is deeper than just screen time. It's about content too. I've had to have some tough conversations with my kids about what they're watching and who they're talking to online.
This is ridiculous. Kids these days need to learn how to use technology. They can't just avoid it altogether. We need to teach them how to use it responsibly.
I think we need to focus more on educating our kids about the dangers of technology rather than just restricting it. Teaching them about privacy, online safety, and healthy habits can go a long way. It's like teaching them to cross the street - you can't just forbid them from doing it, you tell them how to do it safely.
