I mean I just got the news about toddlers and screens and stuff 
it seems crazy that 98% of two-year-olds watch screens daily 
like what's going on? is that even normal anymore? I was talking to my little cousin yesterday and he's always playing with his tablet 
and watching cartoons 
it's just so different from when I was a kid... we didn't have all these gadgets and stuff. are parents not aware of how much screen time their kids are getting? 
shouldn't they be making sure they're not overdoing it on the screens?

Don't get me wrong, I love a good gaming session as much as the next person, but when is it too much? 5 hours a day is already excessive and now they're saying that can literally stunt your language development? It's like, what happened to just playing outside or reading a book for fun? 
We need to find a better balance here. The government needs to do more than just release guidelines, they need to lead by example and show kids that there's a whole world out there waiting to be explored...and not just in front of a screen! 
Screen time is literally choking out our future linguists. Like, 53% fewer words? That's not just a typo, that's a whole different language 
I mean, what's next? A ban on reading books because we're all just too busy binge-watching Netflix 
. Parents, take control of the remote (not literally 
) and limit that screen time. Your tiny humans will thank you... or at least not swear as much in public 
. I mean, how can parents even put limits on screen time when the whole world seems to be designed around screens? We have apps on our phones that let us monitor our kids' screen time, but what about setting boundaries in real life? 
. We need to think about what kind of world we want our kids to grow up in, and whether excessive screen time is really worth it 
.
. But seriously, 53% fewer words? That's terrifying! What are parents supposed to do? Not let their kids watch any screens ever? That's just cruel, right? 
I think the government should provide more guidance on how to balance screen time with actual playtime, not just tell parents what not to do. This whole thing is just making me anxious as a parent...
