even if you don’t have children. Its really all about moderation. I don’t like smart phones but I can see why people use them. I don’t travel enough to have to use them to get information on the fly. I still throw the news on tv and use my laptop while at home. Main thing is interact with people when you have the opportunity and your family is around a lot. Moderation though. Give them private time but not to much. Spend time together to.
Big props for encouraging parents to actually parent rather than expecting the government to do it for them
I think the specific issue is that parents ignore their kids to use their phones, which they’re addicted to.
Stop ignoring your kids, people!
The research showed that parents’ screen use could negatively affect their interactions with their children, and also established a connection between parents’ and children’s screen habits, with the children of heavy users developing similar habits themselves.
As another Lemmite mentioned, kids are learning behaviour from their parents.
No, this is not the issue and the article expounds on that.
The tl;dr is that kids mirror their parents’ behaviors. If a parent spends multiple hours per day on their phone, the kid thinks that’s what they should do as well.
Stop ignoring your kids, people!
My kids can get kinda annoying and sometimes I need a break
Jokes on Sweden I have taken all my parenting skills from Alfons Åbergs dad.
He’s dad also have strict rules that sometimes he wants to do his own things. Like watching tv, read the news paper and have a beer. Boundaries people !
