What happens when you give your kids unlimited screen time?
What happens when you give your kids unlimited screen time?
“GMA” conducted an experiment with a family to see what would happen if parents put no restrictions on their children’s screen time.
My mom: go outside!
Me, a genius: **gets the phone outside too""
My mom: error 404
The biggest problem is that they won’t eat much of they have unlimited access to the tablets.But it does help prevent them from fighting with each other non stop,screaming and getting on your last nerve.It helps reduce parental stress,which is good for kids.
3:35 this is CAP. I spend almost all my free time on screens and I get perfect grades.
This is so not true there are creative kid out there and this is a bad vid
I have found the leader of the internet his name is 4chan and he is hiding in Iran you guys need to go find him and don’t stop till you find him no matter what the children need to be saved help them GMA you are our only hope
In my opinion the screentime itself isn’t the problem, it’s what they’re doing that you should be aware of.
My guy Wesley 💪🏻😤
Bro. I am addicted to my pc, iPad and everything like that because my mom was in hospital for most of my life with cancer and my dad was working long long hours and we was forced to stay at home with a random neighbour who just relaxed on the patio outside while we could only entertain ourselves with technology and I am glad I did, it made me who I am today.
I understand that it is bad to stay on for hours at a time and I don’t do that anymore only when I study, painfully….
on the last day of summer a few years ago i relised i wasted it on the internet, the next summer i made sure that i went out side and rode my bike everyday and got out there, BEST DECISION OF MY CHILDHOOD it tell you please go outside and do something
“The parents will use an app on their phones to limit their screen time to just 2 hours a day”
OH I CAN TELL YOU WHY THEY ARE NOT GOING OUTSIDE ITS SUMMER IN ARIZONA ITS FLIPPIN 120 DEGREES!!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
This is how I was raised and I turned out TV.
I kinda hate how ppl say 1 HoUr is to much because you know the people who say that type of stuff spend like 30 hours on the phone
Never really went outside on summer since I have no kids that have stuff in common on me and even having unlimited Internet I never fought with anyone because I had no one to fight om
I played so much video games as a kid that now I usually only play like once every other day for 30 minutes
fake news
>:( me a kid has a life too!!! Shut up
I have as much screen times as I would like. I don’t scream or yell because of something stupid. I’m 14, go to bed at 1AM at normal time, unlimited screen time, yet I’m fine. Having a computer for me is like having a safe space where I can talk to my two friends and just enjoy myself. Play meaningless games for the fun of it, and just have a good time. I’m a A and B student. Screens do not equal bad grades. Guess what! Screens are the reason I’m about to starting to learn Japanese. I found out how awesome the language is and told myself I had to learn it. Screens are the reason why I know what job I have in mind. My parents not trusting me all the way and searching through the one thing that makes me feel safe is why I have depression and major problems trusting anything. Thanks, also, stop holding these kids at verbal gun point. Also, 8-12 hours is astronomical. On weekends, I spend about 6 hours alone on my PS5 alone. ALSO, 8:05 PM is an insane time for bed?! Again, 5 hours a day is still insane?
Everyone: Reee screen time!
Me: 2:15 She’s not wearing a seat belt…
Ok so i get unlimited screen time and ya know what lol sometimes i still get bored first 1-2 years it was nice but im now bored so on summer i go outside with my friends everyday like 5hours lol.
Yet parents scroll on Facebook for 48 hours straight, what about their internet addiction?
Mum: get of your I phone
Also mum: never gets of her phone
My children don’t even know how to use a phone or a tablet. Grant it they are two and four and we do watch some TV (could be regulated more). Also don’t have any video game consoles but due to this my girls sleep well at night and love to play using their imagination with the toys they have, love to experiment with art, and love books, music, and dancing. Oh and can’t forget the love for animals! They also love to go to the parks, playgrounds and can actually hold conversations. We’re not perfect parents but this concept of giving devices to your children all the time is just alien to me because we just don’t do it. However adults would have to put THEIR devices down if they want their children to follow suit.
I literally learned more than screens than in school. I knew about black holes and the big bang at age 8 while everyone else was struggling at learning about what a dinosaur is.
adults to kids: sTOp gOiNg oN ScREenS
meanwhile adults: lemme stay on social media for 10 hours
Eh it depends on the child. I got unlimited screen time and im not addicted to it, despite gaming a LOT. OMORI, terraria, minecraft, bloons, valorant, GD, BOTW, smash ultimate (luigi main 👍), brawlhalla (ember main 👍), etc.
oh my god would you just look at the double standard? When the parents want to do things like take naps, sit on s, or have time to themselves, then it’s an attitude of "have fun. Take all the time you like.", but heaven for bid the kids get addicted to it, then the kids get thrown under the bus like the parents have no fault in it.
My time limit is 1h and 44mins
kids: avg 5h a day
me a gamer 16h on the weekends: are you challenging me?
Are they learning new skills? Or just playing games and watching videos?
Have y’all ever heard about taking the phone away
I used to only have 20 min a day now my parents don’t care so I play for however long I want but I get off and do other things like go outside

I refuse to believe kids with limited screen time have the best grades because my screen time is from 8-10 hours usually everyday and I have the best grades in my school not kidding
my cousin watches tv 12 hrs straight and shes 6-
😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
Being around computers make me want to learn Lua Code.

Seems normal to me
Guy at 8pm: Hey when are you guys planning to go to sleep
Me at 3:30am: 😬😑
Thank Steve Jobs for this! Hes filthy rich and we the parents are doomed! Take us all back to the 1950’s please!
for a week? BAHAHHAHAHAHAH i have been having unlimited screen time since 10 years ago.
I technically had unlimited access and I sleep normally I just gotta watch out for coke
Imagine gving your 4 year old an IPad.
kinda If u don’t raise them right and if you discipline them?
“THE DREAM WE HAVE AS PARENTS”
I’m not a parent
Y’all still sound stupid as fuck.
If your child doesn’t know the difference between a video game and real life, maybe you’re the problem.
1:20
It’s adorable how that little girl waited to see her older brothers reactions to then say NO! in a jump lol
I have unlimited screen time, but if you have it from the beginning, you aren’t really that much on the internet…
"fighting, taunting" shows siblings play fighting and laughing
