Nothing because I got more than expected.
I think that you could maybe talk about what kind of apps are better than others and the different kinds of screens that are for a better use.
How parents are responsible also for kids’ screen time, and I think that matters a lot.
I think more scientific evidence could help make kids really believe what you are saying.
I wish Dr. Gupta had talked about how to disconnect more. Like things that will help you put the phone down.
Raise hands and say keep them raised if you have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 hours on screen daily.
