@modernmindfulparent: Follow @modernmindfulparent for more real + honest parenting truths 🌱 What if the people who built the tech industry are the very people warning us to keep screens away from children? 👀 Here’s the truth bomb 💣 Many Silicon Valley executives heavily limited screens for their own kids. Why? Because these apps and devices are not designed to simply entertain children. They are designed to capture attention. Trigger dopamine. And keep developing brains coming back for more 🤍 A child’s brain is still learning how to regulate: Impulse control. Focus. Emotions. Patience. Sleep. And constant overstimulation can make quiet, boredom, and real-world interaction feel “too slow.” This isn’t about fear or banning technology forever. It’s about protecting childhood long enough for healthy development to happen. Try this today 👇 Create more “low dopamine” moments at home: 📚 Reading 🚲 Outdoor play 🎨 Coloring 🧩 Building 💬 Conversation 😴 Screen-free evenings Children don’t need endless stimulation to thrive. They need nervous systems that can rest, connect, and imagine. Share this with a parent navigating the screen-time battle 💭 #modernparenting #screentime #digitalparenting #parentingtruths #raisinghealthykids

id imagine the CEO of McDonald's wouldn't eat their own burgers they sell, CEO of coca cola probably doesn't drink coke either.

when i heard that the makers of the algorithm won't allow their children to use socials, I banned it for under 16s entirely in our home. my daughter is only turning 16 this year and she is far more confident speaking out and is a fab problem solver compared to her peers. it will remain banned for my younger children until minimum 16.

My 6, 8, and 9 have no iPad, no phone, they don’t touch mine or their fathers. They have a tv and ask for permission before putting YouTube on. They have a laptop for school work and they are doing fine. They aren’t missing out on anything. Most Sundays we spend our day out in nature. We go out for meals and talk to each other. Not a phone in sight. It’s possible. They don’t need them.
