yeah your ideals are weird, a good parent will teach their kid not to do something, obiously not hitting them the first time they do it but spanking the child should be done if they keep doing the mistake knowing that its bad
I’m going to say something spicy. I hope people don’t burn me alive:
Handing a child, autistic or not, a tablet to babysit them is making things worse for them. It’s rotting their minds, ruining their social skills and robbing them of the creativity that comes with physical toys. iPads aren’t evil. Some autistic children, especially non verbal, use their iPads to communicate with others. iPads can teach and help kids learn. iPads can be entertainment.
But handing a kid an iPad with no limits, all freedom is horrible. It’s ruining childrens minds. The term “iPad kid” is something that should be taken so seriously. When my husband and I went out to eat the other day we saw a table of adults with a few kids. They ALL had iPhones or iPads. None of the kids were talking or even moved their eyes from the screens. The adults were having a good time but these kids were like little zombies.
This is a massive issue people. STOP giving your kids unlimited access to technology. Take them outside. Give them toys and coloring books. Let them be kids!! Limit tablet and tv time and learn how to spend time with your children.
