Screen time technology and raising digital children

The question of screen time is real but also overdetermined — a container for cultural anxiety about change, about losing children to something we do not fully understand. What matters more than the hours is the quality of engagement, the presence of alternatives, and whether technology is filling a need that should be met by human connection instead. Honest attention to those questions matters more than any particular rule.
