I try to limit my kids exposure to electronic devices while they are small.

I can't avoid it, but I try.

I consider blacklisting YouTube at our house. The withdrawal symptoms look like people having tried drugs. This is scary.

I noticed that playing with phones for shorter amounts of time is ok and the kids get creative as soon as they don't have access to electronic entertainment.

Currently I play chess with them and do reading. My kids are 4 and 7.

This was a bit off topic, but I think that parents should stop exposing their kids to electronic entertainment.. its worse than drugs.

I'm sounding like a lunatic.. I know.

		I'm in my 40'ies. I grew up without computers initially and had a c64/amiga to play games on. I made a laptop for my kids which blocks all social media and only allows educational software. I think that the brain-dead entertainment loop is the problem. It takes no effort to learn something.
