    The ignorance on display here calling it just screen time. What are they doing during that screen time? What kind of games? What kind of videos? What are they reading? If a parent is just calling it screen time with no regard for the content their child is digesting, perhaps the screen is not the problem.

You have some valid points, screen time 24/7 isn't good, but that's impossible, and also (most) kid's attention spans are short and they could get bored after a while, and is nobody going to talk about the productivity of screen time? its not always about addiction, screen time can be actually really useful if your kids/siblings are on apps that help them, for me roblox and Minecraft, games I still play, helped encourage me to learn to read and type and write so that I can interact, I'm actually the fastest typer in my class because of that, and also apps like duolingo, abc mouse, etc, can help education. Screen time is both good and bad, the screen isn't the issue, the things they do on it is.

      It can be both a good and bad thing. 'Screens' can teach ya a lot of things. Even games teach you a lot.
      But spending a lot of time on it can lead to a bad addiction. Like you can end up being anemic, and can become blind over time. Also, since a lot of radiation comes from devices, they can make someone have cancer.
      Also, staying up late at night constantly for years can eventually make someone senile, and can harm the body in other ways over time too, it can literally kill people.

    Man here's the thing:
    what happens is parents have become lazy when they see a thing to look after their kids themselves. I'm glad i was raised in a time when tech was just becoming how it was today with the internet so i never really "could" get too addicted to it at a young age. while I do use the internet a lot, probably 5-6 hours a day at most if you include every device, i am still not addicted to it as i dont have a sort of necesity for it and get angry/depressed from losing it. Kids who are currently growing up with the devices looking after them get angry and upset when they get it taken away from them but also at the same time if you do an experiment like this they'll get bored of it after a while.
    what parents of today should be doing (as a former child who grew up with a calmer interntet) is to **NOT** raise their childeren under 5 or 6 with tech and rely on it, even if it means having to take care of them while you cook or clean. if they are literately begging you to watch tv, watch it with them or atleast be with them on the sofa and make sure they're ok and everything.
    as a side note: let your kids be adventerous more, let them be in the kitchen with you, let them spend more time in the garden even if its cold, let them mess the house up with their toys and then force them to clean it up as. some parents dont let their kids do certain stuff which ends up making themso bored out of their mind that they end up almost unintentionally force them to get an addiction to tech.

    I feel like I did pretty well with screens growing up. My little brother and I didn't have tablets until I was about eight years old, and we could spend two thirty-minute tablet times on those per day, but I was allowed to stay on longer if I was reading an e-book (which I did very often). I was also allowed to spend thirty minutes on my mom's computer every day if I asked her first and let her know which sites I was visiting. I mostly did the American Girl doll website and this other one called KidsHealth. I got my own laptop when I was eleven or twelve, mostly for school, and even then, it was an old one of my dad's that we had in the closet. I didn't have a phone until I was fourteen, and I'm not resentful about that at all. I'm really glad my parents held back on devices because I ended up (I think) more imaginative and creative than if I had been on screens for 2+ hours a day as a little kid.

    A kid I was friends with wasn’t raised with internet or a phone until he was 14. When we were younger it was alot of fun. Always outside doing stuff. But once he got a phone and video games, he has changed. He’s 19, He has no friends, never had a real girlfriend, dropped out of highschool, no car no job. And he’s ok with all of that. He says he has online friends and they are enough. All he does is lay around on his games or phone. He barely showers, and is super rude to his mom. Gaining access to video games and his phone really destroyed his life and he doesn’t even care. Whenever I go see him he’s laying in bed smelling awful, with a mountain of trash around him. And he literally isn’t embarrassed at all, and when anyone tries to tell him he should change his life around he gets mad.

    The problem with saying "cut down screen time" is that nobody offers any suggestions about what the kids are supposed to be doing instead. There's only so much outside and reading they can do.
    I would love to cut my teenage son's screen time down, but when he asks me what else there is to do I honestly don't know what to tell him. He doesn't enjoy reading or playing alone outside. He doesn't have any friends that live nearby, he doesn't draw or do art, he doesn't like puzzles...etc. Wth am I supposed to suggest he do?!
    I can't really relate to their struggle since screens just weren't an option when I was a kid and I developed lots of other interests really early on because of that. Now, as an adult, I too get stuck watching tv for hours on end. I want him to spend less time on the computer, but what exactly is it I'm supposed to suggest he do instead?

    This story is misleading because 48 hours was far too short to account for "forbidden fruit syndrome" When you suddenly give unlimited screen time to a kid who has had it strictly limited for most of their lives, they will initially overindulge to satisfy all the pent up craving from all the times screens were previously withheld from them. Given enough time, things will balance out. It's ironic that the more you withhold something desired from someone, the more they want it because you turn it into a forbidden fruit. Also, the kids probably knew the change was not permanent so wanted to take full advantage while it lasted.

    The limit honestly made me addicted. Made me see it as a treasure. When I got a job the limit was dropped. I got bored after 4 days with 9 hours each day. Started focusing on art, studying, and fitness. Occasionally I'd game for 4 hours in a day, but I'd get bored and drop it. This tech imo shouldn't be introduced to 8-9 year olds until they find another hobby first.

    My stepson uses it 12 to 16 hrs a day even on school days, I try get his dad to see that he is isolated he does not communicate well all he does is eat sleep watch tv & phone, the minute he wakes up in the morning before school and the minute he gets on the school bus for home, his attention span is very short, he won’t even go out to ride his bike or play ball 🏀 nothing, he doesn’t even take out the trash or even straighten up his room. He don’t even show appreciation or passion for anything.That’s basically his routine for 365 days of the year, did I mention he 11 yrs old , I try to get his dad to see what it does to him but he won’t do anything because that’s what his son wants and it’s driving me crazy.
