Assignment:
In the video recording of Dr. Gabor Maté in which he discusses young children's screen technology use, several comments stood out. For this week's Discussion, I want you to share your thoughts on the following remarks:
"The digital media can be introduced into a child's life when the parents can stay in control of it."
"The child develops an attachment relationship with a machine."
"...typically addictive behaviors when you try to take the device...protest and outrage, anger."
"Coming between the addict and their addiction."
"It's about teaching, it's about what helps a human being develop into an autonomous, curious, self-motivated, individuated human being. And virtually everything about digital media undermines those qualities."
"It's just a question of recognizing where in child development does it actually fit in, and when it is going to be a support, and when it is a detriment. And in this society, its gone rampant."
