More worryingly, shoving them in front of a tablet every time they’re being difficult means they don’t learn how to regulate their emotions.

Difference between my daughter and her cousins is night and day. Few studies confirming this correlation with violent outbursts later in life too now.

Tried giving it her on a plane once and she had no idea what to do with it and sat and played with her toys instead, so not that intuitive. She has a mechanical keyboard hooked up to a Pi instead.

they don’t learn how to regulate their emotions.

I don't believe there's causation. Kids learn to regulate their emotions from their parents, with or without tablets.

There are plenty of people with no regulation and no tablets. And plenty of well regulated kids with tablets.

Point is, it's a parent problem, not a technology one. Though it's very possible that shitty parents would use tablets as a pacifier. But they could also use TV, or sticking the kids outside all day, or anything else.

Well yes that is what I was referencing. That is how many people use them; out at restaurants, public places, at friends, etc. Often they are watching TV on them anyway.

But outwith that they have a whole host of problems even when used correctly and little upside. Autoplay, bright colors, fast-paced and visually rich interfaces. Locked in 20cm from the screen. Instead of learning to entertain yourself quietly. Engaging with your other senses.

Exception is well developed education apps for cognitive impairments, developmental delays, etc where the crazy engagement the design envokes can be useful.

More worryingly, shoving them in front of ~~a tablet~~ the TV every time they’re being difficult means they don’t learn how to regulate their emotions.

The thing they're being shoved in front of isn't the problem.

It added my instance to the link for some reason, I think I fixed it now.
