Herr Spitzer: unpopular among my kids
After reading prof. dr. Manfred Spitzer's book titled 'Digitale Demenz' I got a bee in my bonnet about the kids spending too much time playing computer games.
I found Spitzer unpleasantly convincing when I read his sorry tale, telling me that kids' brains dumb down if they spend too much time behind a screen. I don't want that to happen to my kids! It's bit enough it's happening to me, but not my kids!
So I tightened up the parental rules. The kids are complaining of course. But I just say to them: 'Tell it to dr. Spitzer!'
I think it's safe to say Herr Spitzer is not very popular amond my kids.
We've got limits here on them, but my daughter is in high school and thinks texting doesn't constitute phone time. It's always a battle.
