I completely agree with you.

What happens in the USA frequently happens in western countries a bit later.

I actually live in Ireland and I’m so surprised everytime I see parents giving their todlers a smartphone with a cartoon on it to keep them quiet.

And the same with kids. There even are tablets in mc donald’s !

And recently, Gardia (the police) stated that they gonna start alerting childcare if they find kids playing outside with no adult watching !

That’s not the way I raise my kids at all. Luckily we are in a house with a big garden and trees.

But, at least in Western Europe, we are sadly following this path..
