'The research has consistently shown that there's nothing toxic about screen exposure,' author and educator Jordan Shapiro says. 'You don't turn into a zombie. Your brain doesn't rot. Therefore, the question of duration is not really relevant.'
In the face of the coronavirus pandemic, Shapiro says screen time isn't optional, but adds that it's important to remember that even before the days of social distancing, screens were a daily part of the lives of both adults and kids.
"Kids are not only required to use digital technology for schoolwork, but also it's the platform for social connection — it's how they connect with their cohort of peers," Shapiro explained."Screen time was already normal and already needed to be a non-issue. Now, parents have no choice but to accept it."Shapiro says no.
As for my kids, their cooking show addiction has had fruitful results. Last week, we baked a cake from scratch and my daughter cooked a pasta meal by herself. Meanwhile, playing LEGO video games and watching"LEGO Masters" inspires them to build with their own bricks.Shapiro agrees, saying in a time like today, when screens offer us some of our only opportunities for human-to-human connections, they're actually a necessity.
