Screenagers I KQED Newsroom

Screenagers
How worried should parents be about the amount of time their children spend looking at screens? And how much should parents police that screen time? That’s what filmmaker and physician Delaney Ruston set out to learn in her documentary “Screenagers”.

The study with mice she is talking about cannot be applied to humans, in the discussion of the study they said that they do not know the extant it can be applied to children, it also says that it may not be the lights and sounds but might instead be stress on the mother and mice from the loud sounds

Lol, I love how she is like, "we cant do these experiments (the ones on mice) on children obviously" granted she goes straight away and says, "the correct way to deal with them but she doesnt know. She knows jackshit about what you are "supposed" to do. I an ambassador of the independent teens, AKA the ones who can limit usage, say that you should just give slight reminders and tell the what might happen, then buzz off. See, my parents are hardly there for me and I love it. I cook for myself, I get home by myself, I do extra curricular activities by myself, etc. Most of all, I limit my screen usage way better than any adult I know👌😯that concerns me damn hippocrits.😂

At 3:05 the good Doctor seems almost embarrassed to state the obvious. Our society has fallen so far from common sense, but rules, like laws, are good. Rules bring true freedom. No society can become viable without a set of agreed upon moral values. And we are paying a terrible price for kicking God under the bus and barring The Commandments from the courthouse and the schoolhouse. This Doctor is a brave pioneer.

I dont think teens should have their parents police their screen time. teenagers are allowed to stay up as late as they want. its fine.
