What happens when you give your kids unlimited screen time?

"GMA" conducted an experiment with a family to see what would happen if parents put no restrictions on their children's screen time.

Ypu probably shoved an iPad in front of them when they start crying

Parents: “I am so stressed from telling them to put it down!”

Then why did you buy it?

[xiaocomehome]

mom: Stop using that phone!

also the mom: **spends 23 hours on her phone a day**

[farrenz]

ABC: 8-12 hours is ASTRONOMICAL
Me: oh dang 15 hours today, kinda low

The ignorance on display here calling it just screen time. What are they doing during that screen time? What kind of games? What kind of videos? What are they reading? If a parent is just calling it screen time with no regard for the content their child is digesting, perhaps the screen is not the problem.

Those are rookie numbers, u got to pump those numbers up

Why is nobody talking about the productivity of the screen time? It’s not always about addiction

[ubuusg]

Except if the kids get seen outside without a parent 5feet from them child services gets called. I am not exaggerating.

“Mom I tested positive on corona”
“ITS BECAUSE OF THAT DAMN PHONE”

[zoers]

Some teen/kids’ parents aren’t home so they aren’t allowed to go outside or cook or anything therefore they are bored. Make a video about No Hate!

I like how every single kid on this show is held at verbal gunpoint by old people who don’t get anything

[lukeb]

I can’t wait to go outside and climb a tree

[trumpet_boooi]

ok ya know what? I didn’t get a phone till seventh grade, and even then it was just supposed to be for calling only, and i recently saved up enough money for a computer, not a very good one but still, and you’re telling me these elementary students have at least an iPad and a chrome laptop each?


just saying, if the parents don’t want them on their screens, why did you get them freaking two devices

i could continue my rant but i don’t want people to think i’m triggered or something

I think if you have a house and a gated backyard it’s easy but if you live in a apartment it’s tough :(

[imanepink]

Why does the 4 year old have access to screens in the first place?? talk about lack of parenting...

[darlenerushton]

Kids are not the only ones becoming addicted. Adults are too. ❤🙏

[kremitthefrogsbrother]

I love how they are pressuring their kids to go outside



In the middle of the *Arizona Summer* with temperatures ranging well into triple digits

[olivianotrodrigo]

mom: "screens don’t teach you anything"

my mind: so explain to me why you still use yahoo and internet explorer, and don’t know the difference between right click and left click?

[devoured]

These parents don’t seem to know what to do. They didn’t just take away her iPad when it was breakfast and didn’t stop them from playing on the computers when it was their bed time. The kids don’t need screen time, the parents should be able to enforce those rules without needing something something to do it for them

[laurenalmeyda]

They used to say limit screen time to under 2 hours a day... until there was virtual school and now there is no limit?

Also... fun tip...if you don't want your kids to have so much screen time, don't buy them each their own iPad.
