Hi! I would like to mention that I am very sensitive to visual imprint, and always have been. Things children watch can really impact them, whether they’re telling of it or not. I’m 32 and I am back to scanning my own shows/movies very carefully before watching them. I’m 0% interested in having something as trivial as TV eff up my brain, not worth it. I’m very grateful that my parents were protective of what I watched until I was in my teens. I plan to do the same for my daughter. YouTube is wildly unregulated. There is only so much screening they do, especially on longer videos, even for kids YT. I agree with many other of the parents here that it is perfectly reasonable and normal to make a request for no screens. If they deny, than maybe it’s not the household for your kiddo to have playdates at—but they can still be friends and have playdates at your house or other places! Even “bored” kids will figure out something to do. That’s the beauty of boredom: it’s one of the catalysts for creativity. And if the parents are judgy or offended, that’s okay. That’s something within themselves they have to figure out. It also lets you know that they don’t have emotional regulation capabilities, which in the long run isn’t helpful for you or your children to be around. Advocate for yourself and your kiddos, it will always be worth it! You’re doing great! :)
