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.
