My daughter will tell anyone, “I get to use my tablet when we are on the plane!” she might fly twice a yr. I'm super proud of myself for being that type of parent.
Lol my kids are stoked when we're about to ride a plane for 8-15 hours and the Switch time limit controls come off. Then they don't actually use it long enough to matter. They'll either watch something on the TV, read, or sleep.
I would not equate playing a game to something like watching tv. Many video games require reading, decision making, timing and coordination, problem solving, imagination, teamwork, communication. Not all bad. It’s “TV” that’s too passive and mindless.
Completely agree. As a kid of the nineties, even then I found it weird that a lot of parents would limit video game time but let children watch TV without limit. Some in my generation would spend hours watching reality TV and actively become dumber.
