RE: All Kids Need Freedom as Much as They Need Boundaries: EcoTrain's Question of the Week - Kids and Smartphones

in #ecotrain6 years ago

Great to see this post doing so well @riverflows. it's something we have just started broaching as a family with our little one who is 4 (but have been discussing it for a long time) as she starting to obsess over phones but also tablets/tv youtube. Were totally pro-technology but at the same time, it needs to be done in a way that not only enable's the child to grow within our tech-driven society but has to protect them from themselves and the dark side of people and technology

We've often said that it's scary how many more challenges this generation will face compared to what we did growing up

Picked up some good advice from this that we will look to implement as time goes on thanks

Oh @digitaldan also I forgot to write that drawing up contracts is also a good idea!! My sister does it with her kids.

It is a tough one... I'd DEFINITELY limit screen time for a 4 year old for sure. Good luck.. it does totally pose a dilemma for you.
