What is on your kids room matters. If they are below 15 and have tv tablets phones etc in their room, they’re already growing to be failed humans

Welp. What's on those screens, tricated level of control also tends to indicate what they will and will not become.

I don't especially expect everyone to be capable of moderating content to the level that I do.

I've been toying with an offline Linux distro for my son to learn the environment on. Also giving him overly complex ways to get things done to boost that abstract thinking and problem solving.

Depends on what’s on the screen. My kids are learning other languages, were reading and writing before any of their classmates and my little boy knows how to code a bit and do other things I wish I had learned.

They are also outside for hours a day, are very active, in great shape and very healthy. And they love to read books.

Granted. But I’d go as far as to say that most prrents don’t give a crap as long as the kids are “out of their hair”

Explains why I'm fine being in my room for 23 hrs a day, showers and food and going to the store average an hour a day. I've been on vacation for over a year in my eyes. I'm more relaxed than I have ever been without the psychotics I ended up having as a coworker or a boss that were not as logical or sane as I'd wished.

My parents were wise to this shit, if I stayed in my room they'd punish me by kicking me out of the house. If I stayed out too long, they'd make me stay in my room, eventually stopped giving a shit, then I turned 30 hah.

When I was a kid, my bros and I had to ask permission to watch tv, later use computer, and even around 15yo to play Xbox. Music and books were always fair game. We had an actually very good main public library, I listened to tons of jazz and classical CD’s back in the day
