"You're raising a zombie!" That is so disgustingly true.

[indmxrex]

That one mom saying gen alpha will be ruthless is the funniest thing I have ever heard... They won't have the attention span or the vocabulary to hold a argument with a single gen z.

[bunniiaa]

as a gen z, our generation isn’t the best with screen time and stuff but the gen alpha level of addiction to screens is INSANE. I’m not scared of them, they’re just there.

My sister had her first kid two months ago. The whole time she was pregnant with my niece, I made sure to drum this into her head: *NO MOBILE DEVICES UNTIL PUBERTY.*
After telling her that, I showed her this video, along with the "Gen Alpha Can't Read" video. When she got done watching them, she was utterly HORRIFIED. She immediately vowed to follow my advice completely. It's been only two months, but every night I sleep well knowing that my niece will at least have a chance at being a normal, functioning member of society.

imagine what kind of sad memories it will be when they are trying to remember their childhood, and it just them looking down at a screen.

My grandfather ironically is an iPad parent. Me (Gen Z) and my gen alpha sister live with our grandparents, and my sister is now nine and had the WORST behavioral issues I've ever witnessed in a child. She screamed when she couldn't have a screen, told my grandpa to die, she hates him, she wants to kill herself, she hates her life and more. She's nine, and he has raised her on a phone nearly since birth.
I have been stressing to my grandmother these issues and we are working on limiting her screen time- she has now lost internet access completely and can only play console games.
Her behavior has already improved drastically. These screens are detrimental to children, especially with unrestricted internet access.

We need to raise them ALONGSIDE technology, not WITH technology.

All kids deserve parents but not all parents deserve kids

I work at a store and once a mom came in w an about THREE MONTH OLD BABY in a carrier. An IPAD MINI was propped in front of her. THE POOR THING DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS! She barely knows anything about the world yet and she’s already having brainrot shoved in her face! I felt sick seeing that

ipad "parents" when their child grows up with crippling social anxiety, no childhood, no toys, no love, no affection, no creativity, no imagination, no outdoors, and being undereducated:

I grew up with the internet, but my parents were so careful to give me a lot of outside time and time with books and non-digital toys, and I’m sooo thankful for that now that I’m older, especially after seeing these videos

I honesty feel bad for those kids they won't even get an actual childhood

[snon]

I’m 14 (freshman in highschool), but all of my older siblings are relatively older Gen-Z (oldest is 27, youngest besides me is 17) so I grew up with all of the typical kid stuff. We played outside for HOURS, we made mud pies, we made bathroom potions, we played “spies” at Christmas where we would all try to steal candy, we played with American Girl Dolls and Squinkies, I was borderline obsessed with Club Penguin, Webkinz, Minecraft and Poptropica. I look back on those memories fondly because I know that I had the most fun I could’ve. It makes me sad that these kids won’t ever get to do rhat

It's honestly so sickening that my mom (a Millennial) has decided to raise my brother and sister (both Gen Alpha) on phones. I am a Gen Z and I asked my mom what she did to me when I was being a bit rowdy and she said that she gave me toys, coloring books and watching SpongeBob on the TV. I then asked her why she gave my brother and sister devices when they were getting rowdy. Phones. My brother got his first phone when he was FOUR. But it gets even more insane. My sister got her first phone when she was TWO. TWO FUCKING YEARS OLD. She wasn't even in preschool let alone DAYCARE when she got a phone. I, on the other hand got my first phone when I was in 6th grade. So then I asked my mom why she decided to give phones to my siblings at a VERY young age. Her response was that parenting can get too tiring for her and the phone can teach them colors, shapes and all that shit. And to get this, I started to read around 4-5, while my brother started reading when he was around 6-7. Do you see a problem there? More about how the phone can "teach colors and shapes, " yea my sister doesn't know what the basic shapes (circles, triangles and squares) are. What makes me so mad is that my mom had the time to actually be a parent and teach me that stuff while she decides that parenting is too hard and gives my siblings phones. What I'm trying to say here is that parenting has gone down so fucking much that I have to be the one teaching my siblings the stuff they should have learned when they were younger. One day I asked my brother why do you have so many devices, his response was, "Well if one dies then I can just go on another so I won't be bored." Y'all don't know how MAD I got when he said that He was basically raised to not be bored. Boredom is good because children can use their IMAGINATION FOR ONCE. Same with my sister, she is never bored because she has a goddamn phone in her hand basically all the time. EVEN WHEN SHE PLAYS WITH TOYS, SHE STILL HAS HER PHONE WITH HER. So please Gen Z PLEASE DON'T give Gen Beta iPads because WE will be the ones raising them.

Let me tell you something as someone who works with ages 0-12 in childcare. Children are much easier to "deal with" when zombified by a screen. But they are not more well behaved. You'll realize that the instant that screen switches off, and without fail all of those children will become monsters unreasonably angry and struggling to function because there's no more screen. It's disgusting.

my sister in law banned cocomelon for my 4 year old niece cause she noticed the content wasnt teaching good stuff. she then deleted youtube kids from the ipad cause she noticed the content wasnt that great either. and my niece.... IS PERFECTLY FINE!!!! THEY DONT NEED YOUTUBE OR TIKTOK EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY!!

[AnnaMations]

as a gen alpha myself, me and my brother were at a restaurant reading a book while waiting for our meals and the waiter came up and CONGRATULATED us because most kids are on an iPad. WHAT WORLD DO WE LIVE IN


edit: how did i get so many likes

my 11-year-old sister went to play with her cousins who are the same age. They had both iPhones and apple watches and were ignoring her. Broke my heart she was so disappointed.

[snowbird]

My mom actually used restaurants as a parenting tool for my sister and I. Back when they used let kids eat free, she would take us out and we learned very quick that good behavior earned dessert. Yeah, despite the dessert being free, she would not allow us to order if we did not behave. You know, consequences. Looking back, it was a good way to teach rowdy toddlers how to engage and be patient. Despite being a single mom without tablets or cellphones, she made time to parent so these parents got no excuse. These children do not need a tablet, they need crayons and glitter glue.

Every time I go to Walt Disney World, I see children in strollers being pushed down Main Street in Magic Kingdom glued to an iPad. YOUR CHILD DOESNT NEED COCOMELON IN DISNEY WORLD.

Not Hailey literally being a better parent than full grown adults 😭✋
