RE: That's No Fun

The best way to educate a child in this digital-spatial age is to foster a balance between the use of technology and the development of social and emotional skills. Integrating digital tools in an interactive and educational way, while promoting outdoor activities, reading and creative play, will allow children to develop a critical, adaptive and balanced mind, preparing them for the challenges of the future.

I think the balance between technology and social skills is crucial. Technology is a powerful tool, but a child's holistic development also requires real-world experiences, social interaction and fostering creativity. Every child is unique, and tailoring education to their specific needs, incorporating both digital and traditional, is probably the most effective way to prepare them for the future.

I disagree. Children shouldn't be in the digital world until they are closer to teens. They are missing out on fundamental skill development that can't be taught later. I don't think there is a healthy balance - just degrees of unhealthy.

So did the budding psychologists of the 1970s, with the new technology of the time. At the time, I was just coming out of primary school. Those were hectic times, but here I am, enjoying old age without complaint, adapting to the digital age that is here to stay and whether you like it or not, kids are part of it, there's no going back.
