Screens reduce the desire for non-screen type activities. I see this at home and I see at school. When given the choice many kids choose the screen. This is so bothersome to me. Because of this, these types of kids lack social skills and awareness and have limited real life experiences that they need to have in order for their brains to grow and to grow socially. When I see screens at a dinner table or out at a restaurant I become so frustrated with the parents. Isn't that a precious time to have meaningful and fun conversations with your kids?
