Shortform videos should be banned for minors. They are so bad for a child's developing brain, as evidenced by how quickly they've zombified adults in just a few years. YouTube Kids is like a step below that in terms of how bad it is. Like it's definitely drivel, but at least the videos aren't decimating the viewer's attention span. I would ban YouTube kids for children under 10. Which would make it pointless because kids older than 10 don't watch that shit. And while we're at it, image-sharing social media platforms, like Instagram, should be banned for minors as well. They're just a gateway for teenage girls to become attention whores, and then actual whores.

>and is likely to make him stunted and retarded.

It **is** stunting his growth. At that age it is critical he learns new skills, because he is a walking sponge. An instrument, chess, how to use a computer, basic mathematics, a new language, writing in cursive; it is all important.

Not watching overstimulating AI SLOP that rots his brain with useless dribble. Before this slop we had "educational" programming like Teletubbies which was just as bad.

Homeschooling is the best option at this point to grow the best children, although it has its downs as well (lack of socialization). At the very least, parents should start taking responsibility and take away that tablet, and read to them - or teach them how to read - a book instead.

Yea this isn't anything new. People have just replaced watching 10 hours of TV with a smaller screen.

It's as if the TV (or other media) programs them to quit living.

Idle time is the devil's workshop. It pays to keep busy or sleep

>to be fair

Don't be, stop giving the benefit of the doubt.

Not this one, brain is fried from constant dopamine feed.
