Thanks for watching!

This is really scary. I’m really worried about the coming generation. I have a six year old who does not want to listen to what we say. She put up a fight about everything including food or hygiene.

You should try talking to her more often and give more time to her. Maybe turn the Wi-Fi saying its a technical problem as an excuse to spend time with her?

@@mister-Kayne I'm glad I could help. You can also blacklist her device for some time to limit her screen time if turning down Wi-Fi is challenging. Hope this helps. Have a good day!

Awesome exchange between the two of you @nummbee and rooting for you Mister Kayne! It might take some adjusting but I'm sure your kid will handle less screen time well. One day, she will thank you for it!

@@FourMinuteBooksthank you for the video, we need to create more awareness amongst the youth and children of today about maintaining a healthy lifestyle and limiting screen time. There are channels out there on KZread that make children do silly things and my 6 year old ended up clogging the toilet with a water filled balloon. Keep sharing the knowledge. Have a good one!

I love the info makes me regret ever buying smart tech for the grandkids. Recently I found out ,after doing researching for an essay, that even Steve Job stated that no child under twelve should have one. thant alone should have us all take note for our kids and grandkids.

Yeah, there are also some articles showing how all the founders of big tech are keeping their own kids away from their products. "Do as I do, not as I say," kind of.

It’s crazy how close he was to hitting the correct answer of what to do about this pandemic of mental illness yet missed the nail so god damn far. The real cause of our mental health crisis is capitalism… that’s it. It’s capitalism. Instead of saying hey parents you all need to parent like this, how’s about we say hey tech companies you need to implement far more rigorous standards especially to those that target children. God damn this makes me sad that THIS is where he goes to solve this issue. Not to mention the spiritual garbage he throws in at the end.

Capiltalism in no way causes the mental health crisis, it is screen time studies have shown this its called evidenced based medicine. It givesreally great scientific ananylsis. If you don't like capitalism then why not give up everything in our society and move to a communist community of like minded people.

Hey friend! If this is your conclusion, maybe you should read the whole book! At the very least, keep an open mind that you might have put the cart before the horse here. In the West, capitalism has reigned supreme since after WWII - but the pandemic of mental illness is a very recent phenomenon! So those 2 needn't necessarily correlate. Not all devices that capitalism pushed into people's homes have made their lives worse. The radio was great! So was the telephone! TV? Well, it gets trickier from there. Capitalism has enabled smartphones to spread far and wide, sure, but social media is only one way to use them. And it's on us to limit our use, of course. Anyway, all this is worth thinking some more about. Be well, my friend!

@@FourMinuteBooks also do you think things were great before ww2 or just after ww2? Mental health has been a massive issue for a very long time now. With the advent of the internet it’s now so much clearer how widespread it’s ALWAYS BEEN.
