Just watched the first 15 minutes of this and kinda had an existential crisis with the realization that most of my childhood memories are corporate slop because I guess my parents used the tv as a babysitter like parents who use iPads now?
Damnit I hate how YouTube removed video responses, I have so much to say about this
I’ve been screaming this. “iPad kids” are not a new or unique phenomenon. The fundamental problem is emotionally unavailable parents who either lack the time or the emotional maturity to build a connection with their kids and help them regulate their nervous system.
We really do keep reinventing the wheel, generation after generation
That and it's not allowing for imaginative play and active thinking/interaction with the environment. Some electronic media can be good, but you want your kid to grow to be able to occupy themselves. I'm a big advocate for send them outside and they can play stick and hoop parenting.
