Children addicted to smartphones

[Pistachio]

We have two children, aged 6 and 4. My wife lives with them in Thailand and lets them spend several hoursmaybe 5 to 6 a day on the phone. I keep arguing with her that it’s not healthy for the kids, but she keeps giving them the phones, probably just to get some peace and quiet. How is it for you?

6 and 4 is pretty young, but yes it seems to be the norm these days, and not just in Thailand.  

 

People thought kids from my generation were addicted to watching TV.  Later generations of kids were addicted to computer games.

 

I wouldn't worry, the current generation will cope.
