Re: Automation Leading 5G Era
@Ariella - That will be interesting to see also. It's hard to deny that kids do need to know how to use electronics. But I have to hope the prevelance with younger kids is more controlled by parents than by circumstances. I can't imagine a reason that toddlers would need to use an app on a smart phone. Though I did just see a new reading program where a clip hooks onto a smartphone and then tells you a story. I'm really on the fence about this.

Re: Automation Leading 5G Era
@elizabethv I don't have such young kids myelf, but as I recall the pediatrician guidelines generally say no screen time for anyone under two. This was more recently amended somewhat. See https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2016/10/21/498550475/american-academy-of-pediatrics-lifts-no-screens-under-2-rule
The thing is that I've seen neighbors with children who have been planted in front of TVs since they were babies. This frees the parents from having to actively engage with them, but the kids are not picking up on essential developmental skills that comes from activities involving another person who responds and encourages communication. They also don't get tread to unless a babysitter chooses to do so. These kids all needed speech therapy even years after entering school. It's really sad.

Re: Automation Leading 5G Era
@Ariella - That article was really interesting! I hadn't heard that the total ban had been lifted. I also know people who just put their kids in front of a television for all hours of the day. I personally don't know how they get away with it. I can't even get my 1-year-old to stay watching a television show for 10 minutes so I can wash the dishes without him pulling on my pant leg screaming for me to pick him up. My middle son still is and always was the only one that would spend any amount of discernable time in front of a screen. Even my oldest still can't do it for too long. And my middle son is by far the most active (go figure that one.) Maybe it's because whether he likes it or not, I refuse to let my kids spend large amounts of time in front of screens. The reduced language abilities part makes a lot of sense. My friends kids have both been really slow talkers and they stay home with their dad all day, and I know for a fact all they do is sit in front of screens. Her oldest could fluently use his parents tablet by the age of 1. I've always found it to be irresponsible. But such is life.

Re: Automation Leading 5G Era
@elizabet Parental shortcuts when kids are this young leave them paying the price ever after. Unless the child is born with a particular ability or disability that makes him/her exceptional, the environment is what makes the biggest difference. Reading to kids is associated with many developmental and school benefits as per the study reported here https://health.usnews.com/health-care/articles/2018-04-09/reading-to-your-kids-might-boost-their-social-skills

Also people are always trying to get back to other people as quickly as possible. Everyone’s always rushing. We don’t always need to give a response right away.
