I’m sorry but if you don’t want your kid to be on a fucking [electronic] all day… maybe don’t give your kid their own [electronic]?
#maybe it’s just the Grew Up Poor in me but like#your kid shouldn’t have their own computer until they need one for school. The Family Computer out in the Common Area is perfectly fine.#your kid shouldn’t have their own gaming system/tablet/smartphone until they can get a job and pay for it themselves.#sharing the Family Console/Devices promotes time management/limitation and sharing and internet safety/security on public#’networks’ (in this case… public DEVICES but… same core concept)#and a text/call only phone is all they really need and is MUCH cheaper especially given the average dexterity situational awareness and#responsibility level of a kid#and if you���ve done your job right they shouldn’t feel uncomfortable looking up anything they need to/are worried about on a shared device#since you should’ve been establishing honest and open and trusting communication from the beginning#but hey shit happens and if you weren’t able to lay that foundation that’s fine that’s what LIBRARY TIME is for#I’m serious start a routine take your kid to the library at least once a week and give them free reign I mean FREE reign#(as long as their behavior is appropriate)#and they can have some time to access whatever info they’re not comfortable asking you about
