Ban Handheld Devices
Now this is a good one.....
10 Reasons Why Handheld Devices Should Be Banned for Children Under the Age of 12
Some of those words are really troubling....
Aggression.
Dementia.
Mental Illness.
Addiction.
Here's what the author states.....
"As a pediatric occupational therapist, I'm calling on parents, teachers and governments to ban the use of all handheld devices for children under the age of 12 years."
"Ban" is a huge word. Prolly too huge.
And "ban" used in context with "government" is scary. The government doesn't need to implement a ban on this -- just like they don't need to implement a ban on huge soft drinks, plastic shopping bags, and "Happy Meals".
But, parents and caregivers do need to step-in and do more. A handheld is not a babysitter.
Out for now.....
