Yeah god knows I was never like that as a kid, wishing I could be home playing my N64 instead of sitting on a car ride for hours and hours and hours on end. Who would ever prefer video games to the freshly recycled air pumped over you for the 100000th time that day while staring out at corn?
Oh, I agree it’s definitely a good thing but it’s also good for kids to be without it as well and learn how to be bored. Because one day the battery will die or they’ll need to sit through something boring and not able to whip out their phone out.
I struggled quite a bit missed in college to pay attention without just getting my phone or phone out and zoning out (which I’m not convinced may have been from undiagnosed ADD or something similar, but I still needed to learn to keep my attention on something less exciting)
