While research on children’s screen use is growing, most of it has focused on how a child’s behavior and temperament influence how much time they spend on screens.
Yet far less attention has gone to parents’ role in children’s media use.
In 2024, the U.S. surgeon general identified parenting stress as a public health concern.
Researchers, clinicians and policymakers were called to action to better understand parents’ needs, with the goal of supporting them in raising children and maintaining a healthy family.
You had a shitty childhood, but instead of trying to do better for your kids, you gave up, and didn’t have kids at all. Obviously its OK to not want kids, but to me this seems like you are extrapolating your childhood trauma to everyone else. My childhood wasn’t perfect, but it makes me want to strive to do better, not to avoid kids ans shane people who have them.
Look around.
We live in slave world.
What kind of life will any child born today be forced to live?
We will spend the rest of our lives cleaning our parents messes, and we might all be doomed to burn alive due to climate change even if we do our best to stop it.
I’m not your scapegoat. Things are worse than you think.
