Should children be restricted on the amount of time spent infront of a screen? With technology being apart of everyday life, I do believe that it is beneficial for chirldren to spend time daily using these devices. I however do agree that a time limit is a good idea and should be set in place. Our children need to become familiar with these devices because they are used in everyday life. In the passage "It 's Time to Let Go of Screen Fears" It states "Some studies show watching too much TV leads to weak executive function, lower test scores, and obesity in children. These studes are flawed." With that being said the passage states that all other evidence has been ruled out, and that it is a good idea to let children have these screen times.

"New studies show that toddlers improve their vocabulary as much from chatting with a family member on screen as they do talking in real life." Learning is not limited to a book, or a teacher. From my personal expierence I have learned that my children are less likley to get upset and want to give up if they are using their tablet. One of these reason is because I am not asking questions, and telling them no you are wrong, or no this is how it should be done. They are discouraged when they hear "no."

Lauren Hale, professor in the department of family, population, and preventative health at Stony Brook University, collaborated with her team at Stony Brook University to study the effects of screen time in children. This study focused on exploring the differences between passive and interactive screen time. However, the study showed no significant differences between the effects of interactive versus passive screen time. Thus, the article concludes that all forms of screen time should be limited. This article will be helpful in supporting the thesis, because it denies one of the common fallacies that screen time can be categorized into positive and negative types of screen time, arguing instead that all forms of screen time should be limited and treated with caution.

The United States of America is supposed to be the “greatest” country in the world but statistics are showing that our government/educational system is failing us; children/young adults of the nation. Being a student of a middle ranked school in Arizona, I personally have had a first-hand feel for how good and/or bad teaching affects students. Just in high school I have had teachers that would just assign websites as our lesson and even teachers that sit at their desk for the whole hour; don’t even go over the mindset, homework, and maybe only show one problem so that we’ll know what the homework will be like. Until sophomore year I didn’t even know the differences between you’re, your, too, and to.

As a person who has grown up watching tv, playing video games, and also enjoying the outdoors i can understand both sides of this arguement.

Screen time isn't the issue, I feel it's more how you choose to use it.

Children who spend excessive time with technology and interactive media will not have the opportunity to build the social skills that are important to their overall growth and development. Family, peers, school, community and media, all play an important role in the development of interpersonal skills and social competence by the age of about seven years (Haugland and Wright, 1997). Children nowadays are forming “electronic friendships” instead of human friendships thus preventing the development of interpersonal skills. Teachers should make children work in groups or pair when they are using computers in the classroom. Teachers also can provide activities that require children to interact with peers.
