most happy and healthy kids have a unique desire to learn and trying to suppress that is unhealthy
things like screen time, finish your plate, etc
screen time is just a limit on time to learn if the kid is using it for the right purposes which you should teach them to
“finish your plate” I was never told that as a kid and I devour anything that is given to me
depends on the way you use it
as a kid, most of the times I WASNT playing video games but accessing free digital information
and I could wire up an esp32 to a 3 inch display and it’d be a “SCREEN”
and if you use a FOSS enviroment like graphene, this doesnt apply
I “lost online” are you kidding me? I would be homeless and destitute right now if I didnt have the skills I learned from SCREENS as a kid
all of this only applies if you consume TechSlop
You’re totally amazing and stuff but I’m sure you realise that most kids aren’t using their devices to learn.
Obviously, if a kid was reading wikipedia like you did then their parent would relax the screen time rule.
I’m glad you dropped by to tell us all how special you are but I dont really understand the point of this post.
teach them how to use the devices to learn all kids and humans in general have curiosity that needs to be unlocked with wisdom
teach them to use foss
teach them to read wikipedia and github/codeberg
dont limit, add
Wow you just solved parenting. I cant believe everyone else is so stupid. Amazing.
they don’t. most people have zero curiosity and don’t want to learn.
you’re projecting your own experience. and besides, what you want to learn is probably very tiny slice of what is out there and there are plenty of things others want to learn you don’t or think is stupid.
I doubt that humanity would survive pretty long then
humans are born with curiosity and want to learn
and I do not think anything is stupid until I learn about it
how old are you? you argue like a 16 year old.
a bunch of grandiose statements that are mostly your own projects of yourself into the world.
the irony being that your commentary in this thread prove that you are unwise and inexperienced in the world, and that young people are not wise. and you feel like your some counter-example, but all you are showing is you are a perfect example of and arrogant teenager who thinks lacks the maturity to understand the world exists outside of themselves and their experiences are incredibly limited.
im about three and a half thank you for the compliment
Are humans born with curiosity, or does curiosity need to be unlocked with wisdom? You’ve said both now.
they are born with it, but it needs to be unlocked
Who are you telling to do all of that? Just, like all parents? Do you think all parents are in this thread?
just the parents in this thread
And why exactly do you think that you have solved this problem? Are you under the impression that you’re the first person to think about this?
this is a very new situation with various perspectives
I am just giving you guys advice on how to deal with it as someone who specialises in “screens” and how they work
You realize you are on Lemmy, right? You are SURROUNDED by people who specialize in “screens”.
clearly not as I can see
you can’t see past your own ego
dude I dont think “phone bad book good” people are tech enthusiasts
