Use a timer if you need one, five min before it rings let your offspring know (no one likes to be interrupted in the middle), once the time is up that is it.
This type of commentary online is contradictory and lazy.
- Parent puts in effort to manage their child's time (and or access).
WHY AREN'T YOU PARENTING?!
- Parent doesn't put in effort to manage their child's time (and or access).
WHY AREN'T YOU PARENTING?!
Plus when a parent really goes whole-hog on the whole protective thing they get criticized for being authoritarian and or not allowing their kid to make mistakes/grow into an adult.
The direct implication here is that a child should only have exactly as much time on technology as the parent has free time to sit behind them and look over their shoulder. Yet if you phased a parent doing that as a question from the child's point-of-view, it would get HEAVILY criticized (and perhaps not incorrectly either). In essence all parenting today exists in a super position (or "Schrödinger's Parenting" if you will) wherein everything they do is incorrect and or a complete contradiction.
Seemingly to comes from two groups:
- Those who have never had kids.
- Those who had kids before technology really existed like it does today.
These people don't really have anything valuable to offer the discussion.
I’m not sure when we crossed that threshold where actively trying to limit technology in a fair and automated way access became “lazy parenting” but I don’t like it.
I belong to neither of the groups you mentioned. The only responsibility a parent has is to their child - there is nothing contradictory or lazy about this.
Otherwise you seem to project personal stuff I have no opinion on.
