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.

I grew up with unlimited screen time. I played video games with my dad a lot. And being around computers so much is part of the reason that I decided to major in information technology and study computer programming. Kids using the same technology the same amount as millions of adults is a non-issue.
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.
Yeah same here. Growing up, i didn’t have a phone until i was 12. Lol now i see. 5 years old with tablets XD. I think it’s a good idea to have a computer but not until you are close to teenage years.
my parents "how long have you been on that" me "3 hours" my parents " play with your friends" also my parents "arre you out with that horrible boy again"
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.
When these kids are used to doing other things besides devices, they reverted to what they know, other activities. Kids who are never regulated don’t know what else is out there to do.
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.
Ok, there are literal kids in the comments throwing temper tantrums because they think "this video is wrong and I hate you you should shut up". For those kids, please, get off UA-cam.
I started playing computer games when I was 3 and spent a ton of time playing. I am a well respected software engineer with astronomical salary compared to people around me.
Think about how cruel this is. Giving your child, who you brought in to this world and love dearly a gift, and seeing the smiles on their faces when they accept that gift, only to berate them for being happy about it. Borderline phycological abuse.
TAKE IT AWAY FROM THEM UNTIL THEY ACT NORMAL, AND GIVE IT BACK TO THEM, BUT LIMIT THEIR SCREEN TIME (last step you could automatically do,) (PLEASE READ THIS ANY PARENTS WATCHING.)
My kids have unlimited screen time. As a result they actually don't spend that much time on their devices. They rather run around and play at the park. They get bored of screens.
This is so true, they find a new app/game and play it like there's no tomorrow for a while, then they get burnt out on it and act like they have nothing else in life to do anymore 🤪
My parents technically give me almost unlimited screen time, I’m eleven almost twelve and I’ve learned I’ve felt better when I’m not on my screen all the time. Even though devices can be bad, taking it away completely isn’t great either.
Quick fix, don't let kids under the age of 13 have tablets or phones. I didn't have my first phone until I was 16, I didn't have my first game console until I was 14.
I agree!!! Like you can’t blame the kids and get mad they’re always on tablets when you, the ones responsible for them, bought them tablets. It’s important to teach children other activities and make a little time for games or other activities if they’re interested in them, but if they’re not interested there would be no reason to ever even give them electronics until they’re older
But i did get a ds when I was 8, which was my first electronic, but my parents managed it very well to the point where I knew what was a good amount of time to be on it, and I enjoyed other activities the same amount
@@xo_chrissy07 Don't get them ipads. They're wastes of time that opens them to addiction of many kinds. If you're going to give them technology give them a proper computer so they have free access to learn how to code, video edit, 3d render, etc. They're going to find "strange" media when they get to that age but as kids they likely care more about gaming and software than endlessly surfing the internet until they see that stuff on accident. It's the kids who learn tech skills at a young age who find success in technology, buisness, and law fields (the creator of minecraft learned to code programs fluently when he was 11!) (there are several pixar/dreamworks animators who made animations in their free times as teens and got hired for them!)
some of us don’t care about the outside we just wanna have social interactions via the internet because we’re too anti social to make friends in real life
Yes, and the reason you’re anti-social and labelled yourself as everything g under the sun to do with avoiding real life interactions is because of being addicted to a fake ideal of living
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?
Your son is almost like me, but they take my electronics away, i ask the same question, and they just say : you can do whatever you want! Even thought im not allowed outside by myself, and we live in a tiny apartment.
As a teen, I can agree with this mentality. I want to be on the computer more **because** It is so limiting. Parents are scared of their kids being addicted, so they give them restrictions. Because of those restrictions, kids want to spend more time on screens. If it was a normal activity like playing outside, people would have a different mindset toward it.
Bruh. These are little kids, why’d you give them a whole laptop lmao. If you don’t want your kids to be on screens then why’d you ever get them the computer. Screens are simply a part of society today, so we’d all do well to get used to it. Adults these days always want to complain the moment children use their devices. And before you say the over used argument, “Well it’s my device so I can be this way about it.” Wake up to reality. Children have no choice but to get their possessions by having their parents buy things for them. I assume you’d expect an 11 year old to be able to work and pay bills to get their own phone or computer? That’s simply unrealistic. That argument is basically forcing children into submission; a very poor message to be passing on to the next generation.
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.
It depends how old the kids are and what they are doing with their screens during the 5-6 hours. In this time period, digital technology is a fundamental part of life, and there's a lot you can learn from it.
My mom was freaking out about me having 5 hours as an average for screen time but I use my phone for online homework, research, being able to text my friends, and reading and writing and drawing, and I’m frequently on Instagram but i can only go on at night because my fam won’t be yelling at me about being on my phone so technically it’s their fault I’m up late on Instagram
Alexa Nanes: If you live, you'll be grateful later that they tried to help save you from radiation sickness. you spoke unwisely here and no, it is not their fault.
I literally learned more than screens than in school. I knew about black holes and the big bang at age 8 while everyone else was struggling at learning about what a dinosaur is.
Stop giving kids these things. They don’t need it and it’s not healthy. If they have to have the screen tell them to go outside and do all their responsibilities before allowing to get screen time.
One thing is for sure. Someone who spends their time online will be way smarter than the average human. You see it with the younger generation. They are way smarter than boomers who grew up without instant access to information at their fingertips. I'm not even part of the young generation, but can obviously see it.
Depends. Not everyone uses the interent productively even if they see everyone else's view points. They thought my generation were all going to be coding whizzes. I doubt most of gen Z know how to code still.
I see no relation between screen time and good grades I know people who are restricted on screen time and will always desire it while people with no restrictions have there own freedom to consciously think.
Yeah, I am on a screen for more than 5 hours... and I still behave also I still go outside and away from these things is in an online school and do get bored on a screen usually outside walking or biking the main thing to do. Update: I kind of quit my video game addiction I only play 2-3 hours now
@Juece yeah but then life happens but idk how i wasn't obese from playing these video games but i don't want to quit entirely basically just limiting myself to like 2 or 3 hours of gameplay time, maybe do something else too shoot airsoft take my car for a spin etc. but at most i usually play for like almost 5 minutes when i limit myself 2 hours, doesn't make sense ik but i gotten more stuff done than before
Parents: You can play 1 hr in the morning and 1 hr in the evening, but in the weekend, you can do 1 hr in the morning, and 2 hrs in the afternoon Me: Goes in the basement and gets away with the all-day stream Dad: Where is my freaking son! He’s been playing all freaking day!
When I was their age I would run around the house, play with my hot wheels, and a bunch of other miscellaneous toys. Most of which had no electronic circuitry.

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.

It is only for people who are actually mature enough and knows when to put the screen down and do something productive 👍
I have NEVER had limited screen time. I have been able to get good grades. Regulate my time, to go outside, read books, go in the pool, anything. I feel like because i can be on my phone whenever has helped me be able to stop or get bored of it. I really suggest not limiting screen time because you should let your kids be responsible.

I grew up with unlimited screen time. I played video games with my dad a lot. And being around computers so much is part of the reason that I decided to major in information technology and study computer programming. Kids using the same technology the same amount as millions of adults is a non-issue.
And on the internet you learn history

Honestly
So true
they did not let them have friends over or go that many places
I would not call ”spoiled” kids that are given unlimited access to screens at all!! But I agree parents are sometimes lazy to interact with them
Not spoiled. It’s neglect.
adults to kids: sTOp gOiNg oN ScREenS
meanwhile adults: lemme stay on social media for 10 hours
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.
Yeah same here. Growing up, i didn’t have a phone until i was 12. Lol now i see. 5 years old with tablets XD. I think it’s a good idea to have a computer but not until you are close to teenage years.
Yeah, I didn’t have a phone till I was 10. I didn’t get a real, unused phone until I was 11.
I know it’s 2022 but I don’t think a child should have a cell phone until he/she can pay for it him/herself

@@kraftwerklover69 same, 99% of my knowledge is from screens. I am now training to be a professional artist and musician.
I was also too I learned so much from youtube
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.
Wonderful advice! So right. :- )
My parents tried this when i was 12 they stopoed after they figured out i only liked nat geo and ww2 in color
Man it stopped
Nat
same i love that stuff
When these kids are used to doing other things besides devices, they reverted to what they know, other activities. Kids who are never regulated don’t know what else is out there to do.
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.

Think about how cruel this is. Giving your child, who you brought in to this world and love dearly a gift, and seeing the smiles on their faces when they accept that gift, only to berate them for being happy about it. Borderline phycological abuse.
TAKE IT AWAY FROM THEM UNTIL THEY ACT NORMAL, AND GIVE IT BACK TO THEM, BUT LIMIT THEIR SCREEN TIME (last step you could automatically do,) (PLEASE READ THIS ANY PARENTS WATCHING.)
My kids have unlimited screen time.
As a result they actually don't spend that much time on their devices. They rather run around and play at the park.
They get bored of screens.
This is so true, they find a new app/game and play it like there's no tomorrow for a while, then they get burnt out on it and act like they have nothing else in life to do anymore 🤪
My parents technically give me almost unlimited screen time, I’m eleven almost twelve and I’ve learned I’ve felt better when I’m not on my screen all the time. Even though devices can be bad, taking it away completely isn’t great either.

Children in America are WAY too spoiled because the parents have no idea how to raise them...so I ask myself: why do they even have kids????????????
Quick fix, don't let kids under the age of 13 have tablets or phones. I didn't have my first phone until I was 16, I didn't have my first game console until I was 14.
It's honestly easy, don't blame the technology, its the parents decision to give them the technology at such a young age
@GrayStripe345, That’s kinda not the way to go. I think phones can wait till maybe 12-ish, and tablets/iPads around like 7-ish. Edit: just my opinion.
I agree!!! Like you can’t blame the kids and get mad they’re always on tablets when you, the ones responsible for them, bought them tablets. It’s important to teach children other activities and make a little time for games or other activities if they’re interested in them, but if they’re not interested there would be no reason to ever even give them electronics until they’re older
But i did get a ds when I was 8, which was my first electronic, but my parents managed it very well to the point where I knew what was a good amount of time to be on it, and I enjoyed other activities the same amount

In my opinion the screentime itself isn't the problem, it's what they're doing that you should be aware of.
my kids arent getting ipads
@@xo_chrissy07 Don't get them ipads. They're wastes of time that opens them to addiction of many kinds. If you're going to give them technology give them a proper computer so they have free access to learn how to code, video edit, 3d render, etc. They're going to find "strange" media when they get to that age but as kids they likely care more about gaming and software than endlessly surfing the internet until they see that stuff on accident.
It's the kids who learn tech skills at a young age who find success in technology, buisness, and law fields (the creator of minecraft learned to code programs fluently when he was 11!) (there are several pixar/dreamworks animators who made animations in their free times as teens and got hired for them!)

Respect, no offense.
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?
He doesn't try doing it because of that. He should consider art as a beginning to cure boredom. UA-cam tells me anyone can draw.
Not all kids can go outside or read
Your son is almost like me, but they take my electronics away, i ask the same question, and they just say : you can do whatever you want! Even thought im not allowed outside by myself, and we live in a tiny apartment.
If you was my mom....I would have zero screen time because I'd be too busy doing chores and everything you told me to do!
Weslys screen time is no where close to mine 💀
As a teen, I can agree with this mentality. I want to be on the computer more **because** It is so limiting. Parents are scared of their kids being addicted, so they give them restrictions. Because of those restrictions, kids want to spend more time on screens. If it was a normal activity like playing outside, people would have a different mindset toward it.
PREACH
Bruh. These are little kids, why’d you give them a whole laptop lmao. If you don’t want your kids to be on screens then why’d you ever get them the computer. Screens are simply a part of society today, so we’d all do well to get used to it. Adults these days always want to complain the moment children use their devices. And before you say the over used argument, “Well it’s my device so I can be this way about it.” Wake up to reality. Children have no choice but to get their possessions by having their parents buy things for them. I assume you’d expect an 11 year old to be able to work and pay bills to get their own phone or computer? That’s simply unrealistic. That argument is basically forcing children into submission; a very poor message to be passing on to the next generation.
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.
"fighting, taunting" shows siblings play fighting and laughing
Honestly I think 5-6 hours a day isn’t bad if you are up for 16 hours because they get to learn to manage their own time.
It depends how old the kids are and what they are doing with their screens during the 5-6 hours. In this time period, digital technology is a fundamental part of life, and there's a lot you can learn from it.
Neuter yourself
Kids still won't learn time management and healthy limits on their own, it's the parents job to set rules and limits.
