the brain being an organic computer isnt capable to process data if not educated in critical thinking first. So parents who are already mind controlled do not understand the dangers of what they are doing

Science is a double-edged sword; it creates as many problems as it solves, but always on a higher level.

The new nanny: Over a third of babies now use smartphones – before they walk and talk
Monday 27th April 2015

‘The news is startling pediatricians. A new medical study reveals that the tiniest Americans are tapping on smartphones and tablets even before they learn to walk or talk, and by 1 year of age, one in seven toddlers is using devices for at least an hour a day.

The research found that even a third of the babies under a year could scroll down the screen, while a fourth managed to actually call someone.

“We didn’t expect children were using the devices from the age of 6 months. Some children were on the screen for as long as 30 minutes,” says Dr. Hilda Kabali, lead author of the study, which was conducted among 370 parents and their babies at a pediatrics clinic in the Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia.’.........

“We didn’t expect children were using the devices from the age of 6 months. Some children were on the screen for as long as 30 minutes,” says Dr. Hilda Kabali, lead author of the study, which was conducted among 370 parents and their babies at a pediatrics clinic in the Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia.

Mobile devices are becoming babysitters. Dr. Kabali found that 60 percent of the parents in the study allowed their toddlers to play with mobile media when it was time to run errands, almost three fourths did the same while they did chores. Another 65 percent used the device to “calm the child”, a third used it to put the child to sleep.

“By 1 year of age, 14 percent of children were spending at least one hour per day using mobile media, 26 percent by age 2, and 38 percent by age 4. Only 30 percent of parents reported discussing media use with their child’s pediatrician,” the study found.

The researchers also advise that the American Academy of Pediatrics discourages the use of entertainment media such as televisions, computers, smartphones and tablets by children under age 2. The findings were revealed Saturday at the annual meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies in San Diego.

‘Waking up to the realities presented before us and even more importantly what they imply is a very profound and personal experience. Once we become aware we are living in a world that’s been deliberately fabricated in ways we never would have imagined and that even our own true nature is anything but what we’ve been told, there’s no turning back.

It may appear to be a lonely path at first, but we are by no means alone in this awakening. It is happening in all walks of life. Whether a banker or corporate employee wakes up to the scam being perpetrated on humanity and pulls out of the matrix, or a normal taxpaying worker realizes they’re contributing to a military industrial machine.’

My oldest daughter is turning 4 here in a couple of days. She didn't even start using an iPad until she was 3, and within that time frame we only allow her to use it for maybe a couple of hours on the weekend. During the work week it generally doesn't get used.

I relate it to watching cartoons and T.V. as a kid. I spent a couple of hours usually on Saturdays watching cartoons, and after school. I grew up fine. :)

I have a tablet that use to be mines

She is a heavy user but all i have on it is friendly kid videos and educational games and alot of family home videos

And of all three she watches the home movies the most

So she ends up having alot of common sense and very witty ....witty to the point i start to grit my teeth at her responses and behaviors

Cause they are right at the edge of discipline and she rides that fine line like a Brahma Bull.
