I was at a appointment the other day. I saw a non-White couple that I immediately knew were bad parents.
You know how? They had a toddler (less than 4 probably) playing with a smartphone and being loud with at least 30 other people around and the parents did nothing.
NEVER give a "phone/tablet/laptop" etc.. to a child. They cannot handle the firehose of colors/data/etc. It will stunt them for life.
i'm thinking this also stunts emotional intelligence too. i did some research on the young Einstein product for children. the marketing was targeted to adults. and it worked. i don't think this conditioning can be undone.
It clearly does. When you remove someone from physical contact with others they fail to develop other soft-skills.
I won't get into details but seeing this first hand can be devastating.
Also, there are studies showing that parents using "tablets and phones" with their kids as entertainment rather than physical toys like blocks has stunted their physical growth to the point that they don't have the muscle development to hold a pen/pensile when they enter the "school" age.
