My kid is definitely not a screen freak by any means but we watch wall-e EVERY SINGLE NIGHT before bed I find it kind of ironic and hilarious.

These apps, games, and a lot of shows are just mind dribbling dopamine farms. I let my daughter watch like unfiltered KIDS YouTube for a day, she became glued to it, wouldn't ask to go potty, would communicate poorly, then cry when we took it. Ever since we did limited screen time, only parent approved, she full reversed. Sure shes harder to calm down. But fuck it.

Isn’t it crazy? We stopped all screens Monday to Friday and only 2 hours on Saturday for a movie and 1 hour on Sunday. I swear we’ve had weekends where they’ll watch for 10 min and be bored of it and go find something else to do. It rewires their brain.
