FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT, DON’T GIVE THEM AN IPAD!!!!!

In today's day and age, how often have you seen parents commonly hand over iPads to their children to keep them occupied? Cause for sure you have seen these scenarios already, a family in a restaurant waiting for their food while the kids are crying over their boredom, so the parent resort to giving them devices which then blasts “random brain-rot” to the child’s attention but them somehow magically keeps them still… heck, I even had a teacher asking me for the name of a Youtube channel that her child keeps crying about. 

While technology can be a great educational tool; as we all know, excessive screen time can have detrimental effects on a child's development. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children aged 2-5 should have no more than one hour of high-quality screen time per day (AAP). Beyond this limit, there are potential risks including sleep disturbances, behavioral issues and delayed social skills development. So This petition calls for parents to be educated about the potential harm excessive screen time can cause and encourages them to engage in more direct forms of interaction with their children such as reading together or playing games. Let us promote healthier habits for our future generations by limiting iPad usage and fostering proper care. Please sign this petition if you believe in creating a balanced environment for our children where technology is used wisely.
