Just watched the first 15 minutes of this and kinda had an existential crisis with the realization that most of my childhood memories are corporate slop because I guess my parents used the tv as a babysitter like parents who use iPads now?

Damnit I hate how YouTube removed video responses, I have so much to say about this

    I’ve been screaming this. “iPad kids” are not a new or unique phenomenon. The fundamental problem is emotionally unavailable parents who either lack the time or the emotional maturity to build a connection with their kids and help them regulate their nervous system.
