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

in #ecotrain6 years ago

Thank you for this! Such a wonderful topic. I see far too many kids absorbed in screens before the age of 8. It's so often used as a "babysitting" tool today. Kids need to get outside and use their imaginations!

I've heard of research studies showing that kids born into using smartphones too early lack social skills, which is no surprise. I think being bored is awesome for kids...it forces them to use their creativity to create fun out of nothing, instead of mindlessly clicking on colorful candies in games like candy crush.

Hopefully this will wake some people up! Thanks again!
