    No-one doubts there’s an important question to be had about screen-time with kids, but this clickbait shit from the S*n is not a meaningful contribution.

    That is such a fantastic example of a Sun headline. “Half of parents have no idea how to raise kids without a smartphone” != “half of parents have no idea how people raised children before smartphones were invented”.

    It’s almost like the sun will print any old sensationalist bullshit

    KID YOU NOT YOU COULDNT MAKE IT UP (except when you do)

    Parents take pictures of their kids thanks to new technology that makes pictures nearly free to take. Parents use limitless access to information to help make smart decisions while raising children. No shit.

    Wtf kind of “news” article and anger baiting headline is this?

      Right? The comments show people didn’t read it. Of course people use it to look up questions, text other parents for advice and take pictures with smartphones. It very minimally talked about just straight handing the device off or streaming.

    You could probably ask this question of most things and get the same answer.

    So what? In the past people had books and magazines Before that people asked relatives or their parents

    It’s just a different method of passing on the knowledge. Nothing changed with smartphones - just a different way to exchange information that can’t appear in your head by itself
