We know this is no new topic, but how much time should kids really spend on gaming systems, cell phones, and other handheld devices? You might be surprised to hear what these parents from the tech space had to say on the matter. In this article from The Guardian, several techy parents are asked to weigh in on the screen time matter. You might be surprised to learn what they think. From parents whose children are enrolled in schools that encourage students to avoid screen time until the age of 12 (that is NOT a typo, by the way!) to parents whose 16 month old child has her own preferred smart phone app, the experience, and the arguments for/against, spans the gamut. Here are a few of our favorite quotes from the piece: "My daughter recently went to the cinema for the first time and told me it was “like the biggest iPad you’ve ever seen”. Her gaming reference point isn’t video games on TV any more, but the iPad. Even my one-year-old is already aware of what an iPad is and how to unlock it." -Alex Evans, co-founder and technical director of games company Media Molecule "We have loose rules. I don’t say my children must have only two hours’ screen time a day, but it often ends up like that. Technology is part of their life, and as a parent I have to make sure that other things are just as important, like going out, exercising, drawing and being creative. At weekends, my son can play computer games as long as he’s done his homework, but a lot of times, his homework involves screen time, too." -Johnny Taylor, art director at games company Mind Candy, which makes Moshi Monsters and World Of Warriors "Yes, I worry about what they might be exposed to on the internet, but I think it’s more important to teach children judgment. You can’t shield them from everything, so you need to teach them to make good decisions. I do let the kids play on devices when we eat out – it’s better than being thrown out of a restaurant. And I let them play with them on their own." -Anne Wojcicki, co-founder and CEO of 23and me, and shares two children with Google co-founder Sergey Brin Check out the full article to read more. As always, the "parents know best" mantra rings true. Only you know how much is too much for your kids when it comes to screen time, or anything for that matter!
