Neuroscientist Tania García warns that simply limiting children’s digital device usage without addressing parental frustration can be detrimental. She argues that children, whose brains are still developing, lack the impulse control necessary to navigate restrictions imposed without supportive guidance. García emphasizes the importance of accompanying children *during* their use of technology, suggesting a collaborative approach is key. The issue isn’t solely the amount of screen time, but how parents manage their own reactions to it. Unmanaged parental frustration creates a threatening environment for children learning to regulate their own behavior. This approach highlights the need for parents to understand and address their own emotional responses when setting boundaries around technology. Ultimately, effective digital boundaries require both limits and emotional support.
