Responsible parents, with values and criteria
What are these? :D
Part of the issue is that the parents of these kids are also addicted and disconnecting, but don't realize it as much, as they didn't grow up with screens in the same way, they had them added later. Now, they think that because "they are okay" their kids will be fine, even though they are under one sitting with Peppa Pig 10 hours a day.
This is definitely not my case and I guess not yours either. Now, we are adaptive beings, but we are also thinking beings; the criteria of upbringing are so particular, not questionable. We can't pretend to “cover the sun with a finger”, write and write, if we don't make a difference and set an example for our children, they will be just one more of the bunch… That, I don't want for Matthew.
I haven't heard that expressions before.
For me at least, my journey as a parent is quite practical and what I learn, I apply where I can. Our kid is largely analogue and will be for some time to come.
My son, in addition to being an analogue like a clockwork clock, when he is planted in front of the screen -supervised- he is bombarded with pills with keywords like:
We give Smallsteps some time to watch, but from an approved list of shows. She is also allowed to explore a bit and ask about things. There is also only the TV, no phones or tablets etc.
Most of the time though, she has other things to do instead. Play, draw, crafts, etc
