Electronic devices and tv destroy young minds
The 5-year in front of us at Mass on Easter Sunday could not even put his phone down for the 30 seconds needed for the Our Father prayer.
How much MSM viewing should adults get?
How much viewing of the View is the recommended daily amount?
CNN?
Well so much for me then.
As the oldest child in a BIG Catholic family I ended up spending WAAAAAAAY too much time in front of a screen.
A black-and-white screen that had 3 channels.
Can’t blame my mom, she was exhausted.
Nah, get them started ASAP on Grand Theft Auto.
Not that I would take UN advice on anything, this pronounce should be common parenting sense. The TV is not a good baby sitter. Its not the type of stimulation a young child needs for healthy brain development. There are a few exceptions, but those are few and far between, not regular viewing.
My kids probably averaged 1 HOUR of screen time through grade school. I learned reading and math [very well, I might add] WITHOUT screens...and saw no reason that my kids could not do the same. And beyond grade school it was Flip Phones ONLY - if they needed web access, it was with me over their shoulders.
Needless to say, most Americans, including, sadly, most FReepers would not agree with the above.
And what scientific methodology did they use to come up with this? Anything? Pulled it out of their butts?
