People who raised their kids without exposing them far too much to smartphones, tablets and modern tech, how did you do it? Were there any challenges involved? (beehaw.org)

I'm 22 years old, not in a relationship and I don't have any kids yet so I'm just asking out of curiosity.

A guy i listen to on the radio naned Jay Noone (from Free Talk Live) says most of a childs nural connections are made between birth and 6 years old and that exposure to screens during those years is about the same as doing nearly fatal amounts of drugs for adults. He suggests not letting your child have much screen exposure during that time and even goes so far as no tv except like once a week for the entire family.
