No-one doubts there’s an important question to be had about screen-time with kids, but this clickbait shit from the S*n is not a meaningful contribution.
Great we’re posting links to The Sun now?
The Sun is not exactly a reputable source for anything.
That is such a fantastic example of a Sun headline. “Half of parents have no idea how to raise kids without a smartphone” != “half of parents have no idea how people raised children before smartphones were invented”.
It’s almost like the sun will print any old sensationalist bullshit
KID YOU NOT YOU COULDNT MAKE IT UP (except when you do)
You could probably ask this question of most things and get the same answer.
Parents take pictures of their kids thanks to new technology that makes pictures nearly free to take. Parents use limitless access to information to help make smart decisions while raising children. No shit.
Wtf kind of “news” article and anger baiting headline is this?
I Google all sorts of shit. I can make a best guess decision or I can Google it and find a better answer…
Right? The comments show people didn’t read it. Of course people use it to look up questions, text other parents for advice and take pictures with smartphones. It very minimally talked about just straight handing the device off or streaming.
Well what are they supposed to do in 2023, give them a wooden spindle and a backbreaking child labour job at the tender age of 7?
When I was a kid in the 00s, my friends and I rode our bikes all over the place. Our parents didn’t know where we were, and unless they wanted to go out searching or calling people, they didn’t have any way of knowing. None of us had cell phones.
Now, people are too scared to let their kids out of their sight for too long, or they might have a neighbor that can’t mind their own business and call CPS over it.
Having been a child in the 1980s and similarly going anywhere and everywhere, I think back on several situations I was not protected in and should have been. A phone would have helped. That’s the conservative " I drank out of the garden house and survived" mindset, in the 1980s me and many of my friends were sexually abused in a casual fashion because of lack of parenting and other adults having unfettered access to us because our parents had no particular concern of where we were. We were just told we were dirty or bad for it and it was never brought up again. A lackadaisical mindset does not good parenting make.
Pfft. Nonsense.
It’s simple.
A tablet.
100% of people that read the sun are dumber because of it.
Interestingly those people were (probably) also alive before smartphones were a thing.
