That’s the point. you want them to miss out. Missing out means they don’t have to be depressed and have their attention spans attacked. This online social life is unhealthy and bad for them and they will grow up retarded socially if you don’t protect them from it.
- noobermin 4y agoSocially stunting your children in order to "save them" is the height of helicopter parental abuse.
- sibeliuss 4y agoSaving them from TikTok crack is hardly helicopter child abuse. It's responsible parenting. But it's also more than that. Simply not giving them a smartphone when they're 10 isn't enough. Parents have to also embody what they preach.
- bart_spoon 4y agoI would strongly contest the idea that depriving a child of social media is “socially stunting” them. It isn’t as if children today are more socially adept after social media than children were for all of the millennia prior to social media, and if anything, there is evidence to the contrary. All of the options for socialization from pre-social media still widely available and applicable.
