The specialist in neurodevelopmental issues argues the case for banning social media for under-16s: ‘Those who had a smartphone with free access to internet content before the age of 15 have worse mental health indicators’
One of the things i dislike about the anti screen thing, is that they treat watching Beauty and the Beast and frigging Cocomelon as the same thing.
One has a story, long shots, morals and teachings. The other has saturated colors and sub 1sec shots.
My kids grew up with some screentime (quality material, filtered). No YouTube, no streaming. One is a massive book reader, the other obsessed with crafts and building legos. They, from their own choosing, skip multiple days in row of TV, simply because busy playing together.
No drama, no crying, no anger nor fits.
They do well in school, are able to focus, sleep well.
