We're talking about children whose brains are not yet fully developed, not teenagers or adults, and screens didn't exist for children decades ago...
The problem is new, not old.
I don't see the connection with the "weird guy", I'm talking about health problems related to speech and intellectual abilities. It's not a personality trait to have a mental delay, but a health issue...
I split the problem into two parts in my previous comments:
So it all depends on what you believe has a bigger impact even if you're in the "all screen time is bad" camp. Anyway, I know I'm not gonna convince you and you're not gonna convince me. It's not like I never read anything and decided that I'll base my opinions on my feelings only.
I'm a firm believer that the problem is with parents not setting healthy boundaries for screen time, not the fact that a screen is showing some pictures.
