Naval on All In pod this week: “My kid is on their iPad 9 hours a day” 🤯 I’m all for kids having agency but this was a surprise to me Justified by: ✅ Homeschool ✅ 1 hour of math and programming ✅ 2 hours of reading before great I like this But times have changed Growing up we watched tv, played video games, and went outside Today algorithms achieve nourishment by consuming your screen time - oftentimes at the detriment of your children Let your kids explore, make decisions, fail, but limitations with technology must be in place What do you think? What’s your parenting style?

haven’t listened to the pod yet, but i think technology good dopamine bad. i read a ton as a kid, did hooked on phonics, went through all the basic math and work books. if that’s in an iPad version now, just means that I would’ve had an endless supply to keep learning. but i also played outside a lot, idk!

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6487868/ ^ Logitudinal study where screen time over X hours associated with all kinds of bad stuff, but most concerningly a premature thinning of the frontal cortex It seems like common sense if you have any sensitivity to your own body that you don’t want kids - physically - to be staring at a screen all day while they develop (Any more than you wanting them eating candy all day) Kids will have plenty of time post-puberty to lock into the matrix. Do it after the brain has had a chance to develop

Absolutely not. I'm all for exploration and exposure to technology but putting them in the drivers seat of a device that is increasingly designed to navigate your attention for you sounds like an awful idea. I couldn't find an older source but I think Steve Jobs not allowing iPads for his children says plenty. https://archive.is/u3bbA

If I’m not mistaken Naval practices Sovereign Parenting? This is an extreme form of extreme parenting that allows the kids to do whatever they want. It’s supposedly institutes agency and ownership over actions. They cannot blame anyone for things that go wrong because no one everyone tells them how or what to do.

The thread came up with @linda a while back and I listened all the way through. The author and what he brings up about agency wrt parenting are interesting and valid But the eye catching clickbait are about Naval’s kids being home on an iPad for 9 hours instead of at school Would I do it? No. A lot of the principles I do implement at home with my 2yo and I’m not in a socioeconomic state where I can give legit options for homeschooling as opposed to school
