Thank you so much for the information. What do you think about screen time for Children under 2 years old? I have 2 children under 2 and I don’t know what to do when it comes to this topic. I read some books that recommend 0 screen time until the child turns 2 because it limits their brain development, and I heard other experts saying that it’s ok as long as the adult is there interacting with the child. What do you recommend? Thank you so much.
+Marcela Collier great question. The average age for children using digital devices is dropping everyday. But for children under 2 years old, I think doing your best to try to limit access would be the best thing. However we live in a real world and your two-year-old obviously sees you touching and interacting with your device and naturally wants to see what all the fuss is about. So whenever your two-year-old does interact with a device, you should be right by their side and try not to let it turn into a babysitting device for you
I would def be a mentor.. I think that we have a mix generation where many parents are not keeping up with technology which makes them be the digital limiter because they don't know much and may be afraid of the consequences.. I think that an educated parent will know that limiting the tech to their kids will not last in long term.. Is better to advice and educates the kids at an early stage.. in my opinion.. still waiting for the elevator door to open 🙄
Great topic Jay! I've been a youth counselor at my church youth group for almost 10 years, seen so much change in digital use over that time, I would suggest 1 other potential category "Digital Ignorance". I don't mean that in an offensive way and maybe that falls under "enabler" but for lack of a better word I say "ignorance" because many parents just have no clue how much or how deep their kids live on their devices. I love your advice to be a digital mentor and learn from your kids as well. I plan on creating a video series for parents of my youth group, teaching them how to use social and the growing trends in device and digital use among the 6th-12th graders.
I love your videos and business concept. Brilliant idea. I'm and new fan and supporter. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to watching your next video
My parents where denfitinly Digital Enablers. Luckily in other areas they where pretty good. So we managed to figure it out ourself and safely navigate by things at school.... etc etc and generally a lot of information. I wasn't necessarily because they where lazy. I think it was more that they just have much knowledge on the information so they didn't really think about it. However we only got a phone at like 13-14 so fairly late because they didn't think we needed one till then which I thought was good. So luckily I didn't get that many negatives from this (e.g bad social skills and what not, maybe my brother did but for the most part it was fine.) However, me, my brother and sister may of become too reliant on technology and I would I wished my family was a digital limiter to be honest. So I definitely think Digital Limiter and Digital Mentor is definitely the best method. Leaning to more Digital Limiter but obviously not a complete limiter. Since I think kids will learn anyway since at school (at least in the UK) they are taught quite well how to use the web and they are very good at it. Though at the same time I think parents need to understand kids communicate though the internet and it would be quite mean to stop them talking to the friends. So to end I think we should limit digital use to a point. Since I think it can make people become reliant on it for fun and use it as a thing to past time. Whereas they could be doing going outside and getting exercise or being with friends developing fitness or social skills. Also I think if you let kids have full range on the internet this may worsen their work ethic because they become so reliant on tech. I'm open for criticism, would love to know what people think.
ned your insight is priceless as it lends credibility to the A Samuel findings. I'm glad you feel you turned out ok and that your weren't scarred by the internet at large. It sounds to me like you were wishing your parents were a blend of the mentor and limiter style. A healthy balance of internet and some limits placed on you. Hey question? How are you now and do you have kids?
+Sandra I do know some older adults who are absolutely addicted to their phone and put every single thing on there life on Facebook. Sometimes our family gets upset with them
