    Yeah no shit. You mean to tell me parents should actually do parenting instead of tossing an iPad at their kid? Ridiculous. They often expect the internet and their devices to do the heavy lifting. I would say teenagers are affected too, since the brain is not yet fully developed until early 20s but they got unlimited screentime, unsupervised. There should be a healthy balance between digital access and everyday tasks, but unfortunately people either don’t want to deal with parenting, or they go overboard and get on that power trip. Respect and nurture your children in the right way so they can have a bright future, and less mental health problems.
