Parents can't monitor what you are doing on Snapchat.
Being in Silicon Valley makes me strict when it comes to my children's technology use. I am surrounded by it all day, so I try to avoid it when I get home. I set screen-time limits, because I think it's good to diversify activities.
People have described my proposal to ban smartphones for kids as mad, but why would we want children to have unsupervised access to the Internet? I predict most of my 'far-out' ideas will be the norm before long.
My children - in many dimensions they're as poorly behaved as many other children, but at least on this dimension I've got my kids brainwashed: You don't use Google, and you don't use an iPod.
Just as we ban smoking and drinking for under 16, because we want to shield young people from their harmful effects, we should do the same for smartphones.
I see some kids whose social media is their whole world, and I actually think it's good to disconnect from that.
My parents were really strict about me not watching cartoons.
When my kid was five and playing with my camcorder. I don't like it. It makes it look fake looking, too much HD. I don't need to see your pores on TV, like why do I see your pores right here? That's not cool.
I'm concerned about my children being so much in the media.
Childhood obesity isn't some simple, discrete issue. There's no one cause we can pinpoint. There's no one program we can fund to make it go away. Rather, it's an issue that touches on every aspect of how we live and how we work.
My kids are in front of the computer 24x7 despite having all the parental control. There is no way to stop the flow of information. The flow of information is too fast and too much.
I've got my kids brainwashed: You don't use Google, and you don't use an iPod.
Our parents didn't let us watch a lot of television growing up. We had Disney on Sunday nights, and at 8:30, they were like, 'Turn it off! Go to bed!'
I had just had a daughter, who was three or three-and-half years old, and I had been watching nothing but cartoons. That's really it. There was no YouTube. You're in France and you're raising a kid, so you break out the Tex Avery.
Keep an eye on what your kids are seeing online. Parents need to stay involved in what their children are being exposed to. It's so important.
Growing up, I was restricted at home from playing video games until I reached university.
Akri done left his Simi on his arm for far too long. She done got tired and cranky. (Simi)
Allowing your kids to watch TV doesn't have to mean they have no choice but to see commercials for junk food and alcohol.
My children aren't normally allowed to watch a lot of things that I'm in.
It takes tough love to order kids to step away from the iPhone or iPad during dinner or to take the devices away if they're interrupting and interfering with everyone else's pleasure at a movie, concert or other public event.
My children aren't allowed on social media.
Being a lazy parent and letting your kid watch stuff that's not appropriate for their age is one of the bigger mistakes you can make.
We limit how much technology our kids use at home.
Yeah, well, in the beginning, our mom and dad had one philosophy. We couldn't just sit inside and play video games.
The leisure time of children must be constructively directed to wholesome, positive pursuits. Too much time viewing television can be destructive...It is estimated that growing children today watch television over twenty-five hours per week.
