My kids (If I have them) probably won’t have access to a large part of the internet until they’re like 16. I will NOT let a tablet raise my child cause I’m too lazy to do it

Ofc

I’ll let them but it’ll be limited for sure. I grew up on sports, video games , and spending my time outside! My kids gonna be in that backyard or front yard for sure

No IPad (very limited/supervised technology in late elementary, as schools will introduce more tech & I will need to teach appropriate usage for their safety+mental health) & teaching them regulation skills + self reflection + general ability to slow down as early & often as possible. Having all the options at once makes everything so go go go. We see endless consumption as relaxation & refuse to think long enough to understand ourself on our terms. I hope the work I’m doing now will help my kid

I nannied for 3 wealthy families and a big thing I notice is that they under no circumstances allow their children to have access to technology. The most they will allow is 30 minutes of TV time in a day. It’s interesting to see the contrast with how wealthy parents view electronics and middle/lower class parents, who will buy their kids iPads cause they view it as convenient.
