Why Kids Turn to Screens: The Power of Offline Freedom #shorts

We know that this is the most regulated generation in history, that when you look at the number of rules and restrictions placed on children today, children today have 10 times as many restrictions as adults, twice as many as convicted felons. And so there's no surprise that when kids get home, they want freedom, they want autonomy. What happens today when kids come home? If you have the means, if you have the money, you don't come home and play. You've got after school programs, you've got test prep, you've got swimming lessons, you've got Chinese lessons, you've got ballet, you've got football. You are scheduled to your teeth. And so when you think about autonomy, again, if you're not getting it offline in the real world, online, you're a God of this online universe. You can feel freedom, you can go wherever you want. You feel like you're autonomous. You have choice.
