#ABCNLPrime #ScreenTime #Kids
As a 15 year old I get jealous hearing my mom talking about how all kids used to be outside back in the day 😂.
Who’s stopping you from going outside ?
@@higherintellect I think there just saying that not all kids are outside, they can go outside but everyone else is inside on a screen
@@higherintellect fr
@@higherintellect I go out, but there's be no kids out where I live.
My daughter is also 15. I can’t count how many times I’ve told her that. It was so true! My youngest kids are 5 year old twins. Im glad they have each other to play with because the outside parks are empty most days.
As a teacher, I can attest to the negative effects of screen time on behavior and academia. Parents need to take this issue more seriously and get informed.
I am a substitute teacher. It is not just at home anymore. Now, kids are placed on a chromebook all day at school too...Makes me so angry when I see this.
Better than going outside or at street with loud bikes, alcohol, drugs, or annoying deliquents harassing people and women, staying at home is at least tone them down. They just adjust the content into education ones
Translation: put lazy protection programs on your kids' computers while putting in zero effort into spending time with them. Then sleep at night not knowing they're smart enough to bypass any restrictions you put on them.
There's restrictions that can't be bypassed. As long as they don't have a data plan on their phone (if there at home all the time, they don't need it) you unplug the router and physically lock it up. No streaming or internet works without it. Kids need to spend time with their parents but they also need to learn to entertain themselves. Parents shouldn't helicopter.

Coronavirus kids using screens for school DUHHHHHH
Clucth 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a 15 year old I wish that my screen time was more restricted when I was younger. Parents have to teach their kids how to regulate their own screen time.
as a 22 year old who had unrestricted access to the internet my entire life, i don't get why you say that, because the internet is were you have (if your not truly restricted) infinite access to ALL of human information, ontop of since your 15 your brain still has neural placidity meaning your brain is acting like a sponge for info, having unrestricted access should be making you smarter, giving you major advantages.
you must be using it wrong, because i wish i used the internet more as a kid, because the bit i did use it put me on a fast track to graduating high school two years early.
it is prob tougher for you though the funny thing is were the same GEN (gen z) but im a first wave gen Z meaning im the exact same age as google, you being 15 you were born just in time for the end of the information age, the info is still out there and the internet can still be a great tool for self improvement its just now days when you ask the internet a question the answer isn't always so straight forwarded.
but learning is fun and Knowledge literally is power!
like when Columbus stole from natives by telling them " my god is stronger than your god, and my god will take the sun from the sky if you do not hand over your items" then later the sun was removed from the sky.
of course it was only a solar eclipse Columbus used his knowledge of astronomy to rob natives of there resources as he knew there was to be a solar eclipse but they didn't understand what it was.
the more you know the less likely it is someone will try to use there knowledge to gain power over you, the more you know the more likely it is you will have power over others.
@@TheInfiniteVoid I don’t mean that I think the Internet is bad. I still use it alot. I just had a lot of sleep problems because I used to stay up until 4am every night.
My brother is the one who restrictions it
@@heikkon733 My brother did too. I hated him for it.
@@TheInfiniteVoid not really when ur being exposed to gross stuff before age 16
I’m on my phone when I’m at home, but not constantly. There’s chores that you can do in and around your home, hobbies like playing an instrument, take a walk, exercise. At least that’s what I do to keep my self productive and off the screen.
go outside and play
Parents think all kids dont go outside and dont play with other kids, but every kid in my school goes outside and play with other kids outside
Truu
Even that is a problem not being able to find something else to do off technology and there's so much that can be done.
My Daughter, the mother of 6, only allows the kids to use their Nintendo Switch and iPads on the weekends for a set time because she notices a massive negativity in their behaviour if they have free reign.
Sheesh, like 20 minutes a day as a reward for doing chores, schoolwork, and some physical play/exercise wouldn't kill those poor kids. Buy them their dream toy and then lock it up. I'm not talking all night every night, but a little reward time with their toy after other stuff. Those kids are going to play with their video games for hours all night long as soon as they can get away from that helicopter parent. No doubt a helicopter parent.
Your daughter isn’t a good parent sadly, helicopter parent trying to keep her kids from the real world. If they are only allowed to use it on the weekends. You better fucking bet they are gonna use it on the weekends. Consider the parent invisible on the weekends ever weekend.
@@doge9347 as if she wouldn't notice her kids being shut-off?? She'll just have to control that as well. Everyday is a new challenge w kids.. What's up with this new age of parenting? Kids are suddenly given all this power. Not in this house lol
@@gamergarcia7248 my parents didn’t realize.
@@doge9347 you must be really young. Please use your time wisely
My eye sight for distance has gotten worst I’m so used to seeing things on my phone screen or iPad mini so now having to look at a distance is getting worst
Me too. And it’s my fault.😔 I so much regret it.
I was thinking bout that as well...
Put it on night shift so your eyes aren’t strained.
@@davidbustamante7278 this. night light mode really does help. unfortunately some programs force the computer to use regular light mode which burns my eyes lmao
@@Louisiana_Levitator06 You can improve you eyesight (a little) by looking far away more often. Look out of the window or to the farest point within your home several times a day. Maybe put something you like in that area, so you like to look at it.
How does this translate to adults working on computers for 10+ hours per day?
The internet is endless.
What else am I supposed in my house when there’s nothing there?
Work out.
yeah
Write a book
Think about someone you saw in real life and stroke it...try to hit the ceiling.
@@eddenoy321 you can think about my 96 year-old aunt
I am a software engineer. I get paid to look at a screen all day long and program. I need to take breaks after a couple hours of work and walk outside in order to escape the screen.
My nephew is addicted to screens. They had an iPad for him before he was 2. He can't go anywhere without it. Constantly in front of iPad or television. His parents are no different.
tell their parents this: put lazy protection programs on your kids' computers while putting in zero effort into spending time with them. Then sleep at night not knowing they're smart enough to bypass any restrictions you put on them.
Hahaah drag em publicly!
😭
I am almost 20 now and Im actually glad I had screen limits. Now that im an adult I sometimes find it hard to go offline.
Same and I’m 26😂 being a human is messy
I'm 46 and I disagree. You lack self control. Don't blame it on screen limits. My kids don't even want to look at the screen no more, all they want to do is go outside and play nowadays.
@@bshinjpthrow away screens unless it’s for homework or contact with family
We need to save our kids because this is taking our kids away from what is important in life
It’s down to individuals (parents), not society as a whole
And suicide rates are reaching record heights. For kids and adults too.
Agree! We can use classical parental control e.g. Time Boss, Net Nanny or others to limit websites by time (or to prevent porn and sex)...
When there is no screen time, young kids read books, color, play and talk to others in the home. Turn the TV/computer on and all that goes out of the window.
Key word: young
That only works for like
Kids can act and literally be someone else on online. Thats why they're addicted but it is messed up how they start acting like that person in real life.
If they're ignored and not taught that manners extend to the internet, yes. Don't parents teach manners anymore?
Tik tok
@@MilwaukeeWoman You ignored what he said. They can act like a whole different person, there's no need for manners when there's no consequences and their identify is unknown. They see personalities, words, mannerism online. They begin to copy all these things because its new to them and outweighs what they have been taught. Its not cause of being "ignored." But, this does not apply to all kids. Some just value their taught manners enough to stick to them.
Dosen't apply to cod at least I can act like a normal person
So…what about the children who don’t post things online, just watch!
Online school is so frustrating but i got the work done
45% of the kids in my grade are failing cuz they too lazy to do the work
@@itz_icy_gaming2930 I’m not one for lazy all the time but it definitely happens with people.
@@itz_icy_gaming2930 I would fail my class because i have only done 4 excersises and i never work when online school is involved, BUT exams are chancelled in my country ;)
@@itz_icy_gaming2930 Not everyone's brains are structured to learn online, you calling them lazy means you're assuming it's their fault.
Humans: It turns out if we isolate ourselves from each other, it makes us less connected.
hur dur dur.
>Force people to have to use screens all day
>Complain that people have to use screens all day
Ppl should consider quitting social media especially Facebook
Children don’t need to be online alone, if they want to watch something you watch with them and when it’s over turn it off and keep a password so they can’t go back on by themselves.
I’m a teacher and we just went back in person last week. I couldn’t believe how much weight these kiddos gained. I couldn’t believe it! The kids were so happy to go back though. They were excited to see their friends.
As a student I believe that’s kind of rude to say about your students, don’t you ever think about how they will feel if you ever told them that before? I get it, there’s a lot of kids that been staring at a screen to much but that’s mean I would of not except that if my teacher told me that. I would of told the principal about your behavior. Never judge a book by its cover. And also let their parents take care of it. It’s not your responsibility.
@@yuri9771 I can see how that comes off. I meant it was sad because they weren’t properly taught how to eat and be active. I’m 5’5” and 242 lbs so I’m obese but that’s my own fault. These kids don’t have the education to know when to stop eating and to go out to exercise. Again, I do understand because I’ve always been big.
@@Tallie602 ok but they might have a reason why their like that like all I could say is that don’t ever say rude stuff about your students you never know if one of your students could be reading this right now and think about how they feel afterwards like don’t you ever say that again.
And can I ask you a question? What grade do you teach?
@@yuri9771 I know what you’re trying to say but again. I’m only pointing out what I saw. I’m trying to say that this pandemic really took a toll on them and the parents didn’t help. We were teaching online for a whole year and they sat in front of an iPad and ate all day. Secondly, I didn’t mention a school, my full name is not on display, and I didn’t mention any grade level or specific details about any students, so no, they wouldn’t even know I’m talking about them.
~as we watch these on a screen~
Can't imagine big screen time; while you already have a demanding work life in front of a lot of screen time to begin with. At least a professional is that FINALLY admitting too much screen time can actually contribute to violence in reality.
Bravo to this very smart mom that was able to get her very smart kid to both comprehend & write about the dangers of video addiction.
so in other words: put lazy protection programs on your kids' computers while putting in zero effort into spending time with them. Then sleep at night not knowing they're smart enough to bypass any restrictions you put on them.
No, lmao. All they said was ”videogames might be addicting”, just like Facebook is for you, Kathryn.
What's with the huge ego of yours when you sit around, dwelling on Facebook for years on end, Kathryn? I bet you sit around on your "new iPhone X" playing Candy Crush...
oh no, that's MY mother.
The other idea is to use a special parental control apps.
So you are free to chose, depending on the age of a child or on the seriousness of control, eg K9 or Time Boss ...
Additionally you get forced breaks, limitation websites by time and others...
This is what is causing virtual autism
My husband, myself, and our 3-yr old love the internet. We watch videos and play games together. But we love doing other stuff, too. We read, play in or outside, do long walks, Lego, cook, etc. My daughter is also quite sociable as she loves engaging the people around her. Her cousin who's the same age doesn't get any screentime at all and is the total opposite. She's afraid of people, does not want to be put down, and overall seems to be pretty anxious. I do hope she outgrows it. But what I'm saying is screentime should be OK in moderate amounts and as long as you spend quality time together and do a variety of other activities.
Sucks when you don’t live on a farm
Most of the time living away from other people sucks. Just during a pandemic it's bad. My husband grew up in the country and he had no other kids to play with so he sat inside and got chubby. I could run around the neighborhood with the other kids and was not overweight until we moved into an apartment with no access to outside places to play or other kids.
@@MilwaukeeWoman obviously he’s not a hard worker and belongs in the city
@@MilwaukeeWoman I live on a farm with 2000 pigs and we have a slaughterhouse open to public, there’s no time sit inside and get fat😂
@@matthewwright7017 Rip Pigs i love you
This sucks a lot though because what do you expect when you literally make us do our schooling online, close down everything and keep us inside. Of course we are going to end up on the computer all day long.
They could send you worksheets and give you homework to solve with your books. They also could send you a voicemail or podcast with your tasks.
But there is a responsible way to use screen time.
@@valek7700 True I mean I take frequent breaks from my computer and frankly after a while there is only so much time I can take before I need a breathe of air.
@@valek7700 they COULD but they don't. Online is strictly online in most places.
@@valek7700 what’s easier? Press a button on a website, or print out a bunch of books, put them together, get all the student’s adresses and send them?
as a 15 year old kid its so funny do see these boomers💀 about "screen time"😂😂
I'm a gen Z, but I do partially agree with the boomers. Technology has really changed the way society works for the generations to come, and I've noticed that it's taken a lot of effect on me as well. I should never have been introduced to instantly gratifying devices that young, because who knew I could turn out to be a very inexperienced young adult just because I've spent all my childhood on electronic devices rather than learning something new from the outside world.
This isn't our fault because we grew up with it, but we have to do something because it is really impacting many lives in many aspects, especially the newer generations such as us. I'm still affected by it, though, I'm trying to figure out how to get out of this mess somehow.
It’s not only excessive screen time that’s the problem. It’s the domino effect of other problems that aline with excessive screen time. I can’t wait until I’ll be able to readjust.
I don't agree about our brains being wired to keep watching. It's the way how videos are made, that are creating an addiction. Instagram, UA-cam, many social media platforms create an environment to push that addiction, because they thrive with people getting addicted.
Good content creators know how to trigger that part of the brain to get you to keep watching. If our brain aren't wired to keep watching then why would we keep watching.
We have dopaminergic pathways that are literally designed to reward us for experiences of novelty and surprise. Media formats are getting shortened to increase the frequency of these rewards and thus condition you to keep swiping up for that new hit of dopamine, factually making you addicted. The big platforms benefit from from you being addicted as this equals more screentime per user equals more ad revenue.
Is this information actually surprising for anyone? Obviously not having actual human interaction when humans are a communal animal would have catastrophic results! That should be common sense!
Learn some real skills.Cooking,cleaning,repair. You will be very grateful that you did.
Dont just stare at a screen all day in your most important years in your life.
Also,go outside and visit your friends.Dont ignore them.
Me, 16, watching this on my phone
👁👄👁

The problem is not going outside I used to go outside for school I watched UA-cam and everything was normal but when things when into lockdown I started using this as an escape so I just got used to it. The things they said happen like obesity is also due to this.
Correct
Go outside
@@AhseemCarterOh my what an idea, why didn’t I think of that? 🤦♂️
@@davidbustamante7278 idk man but you should definitely try it

Hey parents! LET YOUR CHILDREN HAVE A LIFE!
What happened to the good old days where kids would dance in the rain, make mud pies, climb trees, and racing around town on their bikes? I'm a Gen z, and I am thankful that I didn't get an electronic till I was 13.
it’s mostly the parents fault, if the parents had more parenting skills maybe they wouldn’t have gave kids a iPad at 4, I wish this newest generation did the same thing you just listed.
I got my first phone at 16
There’s nothing wrong with being outside
How true man.Its very beneficial for people.
This younger generation of kids have all of these different technologies.
Man kids are lucky these days😩
Back in the day my mom force me to read books for fun
I remember having an outburst and hating the world because my parents made me give up my TV and video game time in favour of books, playing outdoors, and homework.
@@M_D93 ”Playing outside” doesn’t really work anymore, unless you’re really sporty. The only outdoor activities are playing football, and.. yeah that’s about it. Cause let’s be serious, 13 year olds don’t play in the sandbox anymore. Also, ngl, most books are pretty boring. I’ve read many, like 2 we’re good.
Man, I’m glad, but there is a flaw in my brother and sisters screen time. They sometimes spend a little more than three hours than the regular two possibly 4 to 5 hours of screen time.
I am in my 40s and have 10 year olds. They have had iPads since they were 2. They get only 2 hrs a day and weekends it’s off and on all day. It’s no different than the TV that was on all day long in the 80s as a child. I don’t let my kids do social media at all. I monitor their iPads. They have to go outside all summer long for the most part and do one activity at a time. People are so weird about iPads. It’s 2024. It’s very common to use them most of the time. I let my kids use them when we eat in restaurants before we eat and after.
We should start promoting blue glasses and kids to go out in nature more.
My eye doctor said that blue light glasses have not been proven to really do anything
Operating systems like windows 10 ,and i believe every mobile os's too, has a function to where it applies a orange filter to reduce blue light emission so those glasses aren't needed
1. Blue glasses are totally useless.
2. We're in the middle of a world wide deadly pandemic.
Just put you phone on night shift.
@@highkit Pandemic. Plandemic. Whatever. Aniexty along with other health issues are going to go up, especially with children. Nature is only place you can go and not worry about catching a disease and relax your mind
They need to be blocked from UA-cam. there are too many kids on UA-cam who bully people. I don't like it!! It's upsetting and frightening
UA-cam isn't meant for kids to begin with mate, They have UA-cam Kids for them.
@@A-I_Hits true, but some kids still use this version
Nobody makes good videos for youtube kids. It's a dead platform. Someone has to teach the kids to not be mean anywhere, irl or online. That's basic parenting.
@@MilwaukeeWoman Most parents suck at it.
Then get off UA-cam lmao
I believe it likely I did not have proper screen boundaries when I was young, it has, and continues to be a massive uphill battle.
As a student, they shouldve realised this earlier
It's better than you being in person spreading COVID. This is temporary.
Reporter : Including myself keep it real
My dad : She's prob doing work all day on her phone
Me : Bruh keep it real...
Ha. LOL!
ikr? journalists and celebrities love being ob television as much qs a dictator loves nuclear weapons 🤣
They act like this only affects children. Look at our country.
The gratification that we get from social media and video games is what makes it fun, and at times addictive. If parents, teachers, religious leaders, managers etc are concerned about this, then you should evaluate why children don't find fun or gratification in real world interactions. I recently tried to find books and started to view life as this huge open world game and explore my creative and gratified mind to find interactions away from a screen much more interesting.
Adults KNOW. It's just that many times their feelings are in the way, they want to please. But you are right, we must have tough love for our kids to be able to experience life to the fullest.
Yeah, entertainment. It’s the exact same thing with TVs and adults..
This is not gratification, this is escapism. You are avoiding real life and its bountiful struggles over the easy existence of staring at a screen and consuming useless knowledge.
@@equinoxo8813 speak for yourself, but not every gamer plays Fortnite. People develop escapism through other mediums, not just video games. Granted, I've been through that phase before when I was going through some tough times. Video games helped me to destress. But I actually learned a lot, in fact, a lot of my career pursuits are based on gamitication theory. I prefer playing strategy based games, choice driven games, games with a good storyline. If used wisely, video games are in fact a great tool for learning and development. Plenty of research studies that confirm this.
@@Kevin-lw2gl Even if video games are good for development, they do not compare to the development to be had from going outside and living in the world. This is a coping mechanism. Of course video games are going to “help you destress”. Thats what addictions do. Most the people in the comments supporting their continued usage sound EXACTLY like drug addicts when they are in denial and excusing their usage.
I never understood why we need to limit screen time. It's fucking stupid. My kids don't even want to use their iPads no more all they want to do is go outside and play. The more you limit them the more they crave for it. Seriously, my kids don't even want to look at the screen most of the time because they're so tired of it.
I have been addicted to my devices since I was 10 and it causes issues
She said keep it real! 😂 nope we cant do that now
so happy i grew up in the 80s and 90s...played in the creek..did fossil hunting..rode and trained horses, played with a few close friends caught frogs and snakes...seriously...ihad a childhood most could only dream of these days...well besides the abuse once i got home
No apostrophe needed in headline. It is plural, not possessive.
The first kids of the Common Core experiment are entering the workforce now; expect much more of this and worse
@@cee-emm the writers for a news station aren’t like 18 lmao
@@somerandomdude4588 Where did I say that lol? Common core standards were implemented in 2009. That would mean starting in 2012 high school graduates from schools that implemented the standards will have had nothing but common core curricula in high school. That means that commom core kids have been entering the post collegiate workforce since 2016-2017. The only thing I can think of that gave you the idea that I was talking about 18 year old professional writers is that you also had common core curricula in school. Lol
Too much screen time is bad for the brain,
during sumemr break i really wanna go outside and have fun playing wiht other kids and suff but first off, barely anyone in my neighborhood is my age, second of all alll of them are likealways inside and im rellay sad because i dont wanna stay inside all day. im raised by my 70 grandma (i help her out alot) but she is still always tired which i understand when you have to raise 2 kids at the age of 70 and we bassically dont go out of the house much but when my other grandma comes to visit we always goo out and do stuff which i allways really enjoy. so i know i like being out side and away from electronics but i rarely get the opurtunity :(
I’ve started to get bored of videos games I love going outside and build forts and hunting I crave going outside we live in. A neighbor hood and it reallly restricts on what I can do outside and we are finally getting out own land and I’m going to be outside a lot more

Internet is more like community and entertainment and not education type. These kids will not learn anything from online
The simple fact that parents are too afraid to take away cell phones at bed time is worrying. Who's the 12 year old gonna call at 1am? Isn't sleep important for school?
Problem is some people’s jobs are dependent on a computer
Exactly.
Not really a problem, just making the work more effective
All the Facebook moms in the comments 💀
LMAO
Parents aren’t parenting anymore
Screen time is everything not going to lie
Let's face it covid is one of the main contributing factors to why we have this problem it's not the complete problem of why but it has part to do with it.
cancel social media, twitler and facebook
Interesting, well ima go watch a video on how to repair my MacBook
This thing is affecting me too dawg 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
As a victim of phone addiction, I would not let my future kids have a smartphone until they are at least 16 years old.
I’d say 14 is a appropriate age
We need National kids Outside weekend
Thanks.Does it also affects the adults
Agh, another backwards study. If screens are bad why not ban all the screens like cigarettes? Oh wait, the screen is not the problem it's the lack of parental involvement! So how about parents get off and get involved with kids or help them get into a variety of things so they can develop in all those areas instead of teaching them about how evil the screen is. Oh wait, will parents give up their screen time for that?
I agree with you. Unfortunately, the economy doesn't allow parents to truly be home with the children. It's all messed up. However, it doesn't mean parents can't hire a nanny or get their kids involved in extracurriculars outside of electronics and television viewing.
i hate all these old people complaining about technology, it doesn’t effect you does it? my teacher complains about it all the time and retired after this past school year. controversy activated.
Look at him. He can't even stay still. Good job, investment banking mama.
*Daniel Tiger* teaches kids about feelings, problem solved. You're welcome.
I didn't get to have a phone till i was 16. It was also at that age I got a Job. Bought my first laptop at 17 and upgraded to a PC at 18..
less social skills? people, the only social time I got in quarantine was on the internet, and while it may be worse than real interaction, it's way better than nothing. yeah, my social skills broke down towards the end of quarantine, but it would be a lot worse if I couldn't speak to anyone at all besides my parents.
Im a 28 year old mother of 3. My kids are homeschooled and dont get screens. MAYBE on the weekends but very limited. They can actually go to a store, or (imagine!) A museum WITHOUT a screen. Why is it so hard for this lazy generation to realize that if you dont give them a screen in the first place, they wont become dependent on it! Pathetic.
LOL. I am 68 years old and since age 4 have only encountered people who stare at screens. Whatever the "consequences" they have already occured Have met a few people who just read novels, books etc but they become more and more distant from the mainstream and extremely burdensome.
There's a couple people I know who prefer books over the company of humans. No scare stories about them on the news. Anything can become a replacement for human interaction and an addiction.
@@MilwaukeeWoman, That's better than electronics at least.
This is extraordinary in every way. I recently read a similar book, and it was extraordinary in every way. "Reclaiming Connection: The Journey of a Digital Detox" by Joshua Ember
Anyway to reverse it say around age 7??
I have unlimited screen time all the time, but I have a great time I know when to stop and I’m not addicted to it.
How do you know your not addicted?
@@AhseemCarter Oh my god can you stop trolling me?
@@davidbustamante7278 lol just go outside kid
No one cares
Then why did you reply? Just skip instead of attempting to be superior and spreading your negativity
Kids have been "damaged" in the past by spending too much time reading comic books, too much time playing basketball instead of doing homework, blah blah blah. We're in a pandemic and have all these ways of communicating, learning, and being entertained. Scare monger about screen time when kids can go back outside and play with each other again. Here that couldn't happen because it was winter and too cold but now there's still kids with no access to socially distanced outside places to play. Right now we're surviving, regular life is on hold. This was a sh*t report with no news or surprises.
This isn't even fear mongering. Most kids can go outside now. This amount of screen time has a lot of obvious negative affects. Physically and mentally.
It is straight up silly to compare comic books and sports to the internet social media culture kids get sucked into. Spending endless time looking at a screen changes the way your mind thinks and your attention span.
@@AhseemCarter like..?

Here’s some stuff I found-

Increased risk of obesity.

Impaired socialising skills.
Weakened emotional judgment.
Delayed learning in young children.
@@AhseemCarter
Physical strain on eyes and body: Depends on how you sit, how bright the screen is, if night mode is on, etc.
Sleep deprivation: Yeah, when you don’t sleep, you get sleep deprivated. Normally, kids actually sleep
Increased risk of obesity: a screen doesn’t create fat. Your body gets the fat from food. If you want to get rid of that fat, use enough energy for your body to use it. Cause that’s what fat is, spare energy
Chronic health conditions: connected to the obesity thing, I’m presuming? Cause once again, light won’t give you herpes
Loss of cognitive ability: Doubt someone will become clinically brain dead because of a screen
Impaired socialising skills: Depends on how long you play/do, and what you play/do.
Weakened emotional judgement: I don’t really get this one.. only thing about it I could find was: ”the act of gauging the validity of a truth based on one's emotional reaction to it”, which.. yeah that can mean two things;
1. You gauge the validith of something based on logic
or
2. You can’t gauge anything at all
Delayed learning in young children: source?
I hope this actually answers the question they ask and not just clickbait

You have to look at a screen to watch the news.
Kids aren’t watching the news for education information
Only video of this Channel I agree with
Todays are “moms” are so defiant when you try to tell them, please, don’t be on your computer in front of the kids. I’ll watch them, go upstairs and finish whatever it is, (shopping, school work, trolling) and I’ll be with the babies. Mom’s today get upset. Hard being a father today with real life knowledge and share it with your babies when today’s mothers are into fast food and screen time more than anything else.
zoom fatigue is a silly term. dealing with people irl at work is stressful and takes a lot of energy to get people to do their jobs
Poor impulse control in children is a consequence of this
2021 be like: i probaly stay in my ipad in 3 hrs idk
The internet and other social media and video games, etc. aren’t the problem. It’s that people spend excess time on it. Screen time needs to be limited and we need to experience the non cyber world (the real world). Like this for example playing video sports and real sports will always have a difference.
Children, need to learn about their own bodies eye hand coordination, learning about their environment, which all new to them, learning to connect their thoughts to their actions, in the natural world, trial and error in their movements, learning communication skills with other children, learning to love, hugs, kisses unconditionally from their parents. People become what they focus on the most, and they will action what they spend their time with. Children mimic those around them, and if whats around them is on the screen then that's what they will do.
So that's why I pretended to be a race car (I was mimicking the Cars trilogy) when running around for exercise when I was a little kid.
