THIS IS A RANT.

So, more than recently I’ve been seeing when younger children cry, yell, etc. Their parent or the adult of the group, gives them their phone. I don’t like this method of teaching a child how to “calm down” because it’s not, I’m being blunt. It’s not a way to calm them down. It’s more of a reward in their eyes.
The child could see them getting the/a phone as a reward due to watching content they enjoy on it, etc. So, therefore, the child will purposefully be rude/disrespectful/unbehaved in order to achieve getting the phone.

I’m sorry, but parents these upcoming days are a bit soft. Children need discipline, NOT a screen to numb their brain. Giving a crying child a phone doesn’t teach them about self-control, if the phone or device is instantly calming them down, then why should they try to learn self-control if they can instantly feel happiness, etc with a click of a phone.

Here’s one more thing, people say to keep sexuality out of kids content (which I agree with to some degree) but hey, WHY NOT KEEP PREGNANCY OUT OF IT TOO??
YEAH, IM MAINLY LOOKING AT WHAT ELSAGATE USE TO BE. THERES BETTER CONTENT OUT THERE AND YET ITS FUCKING STUPID THAT YOU HAVE TO LOOK SO DAMN HARD FOR IT.
