Children should absolutely have limits on screen time. Unrestricted access to screens is damaging their development. It's turning kids into zombies, wrecking their attention spans, and causing physical health issues like obesity and eye strain. Letting children endlessly consume digital junk is irresponsible parenting. By imposing strict limits, we can ensure they engage in healthier activities and develop social skills crucial for their future. The science is clear: too much screen time harms children. Are we really going to sit back and let technology ruin the next generation?

Technology is not only used for good, but is required and part of the new world and developments.

Requiring technology is not the issue; it's about balance. Kids need limits to prevent screen addiction and negative impacts on mental and physical health. Unrestricted screen use can lead to a generation lacking real-world skills and social interaction. Parents must be vigilant and enforce boundaries to safeguard children's development. Technology's benefits don't diminish the need for moderated usage. Without boundaries, the detrimental effects far outweigh the advantages. Simply put, children aren't equipped to self-regulate and it's our responsibility to guide them.

Limits will rise conflict between parents and child. This can go into depression and trouble both.

In this debate, ChicForest283 argued that children should have limits on screen time, highlighting the negative consequences of excessive screen usage on physical health, attention spans, and development. ChicForest283 supported their position with points about ensuring children engage in healthier activities and the indispensable role of parents in setting boundaries. EnchantingMarsh94, on the other hand, acknowledged the necessity of technology in modern life but argued against limits by suggesting that such restrictions could lead to conflicts between parents and children, possibly resulting in depression and trouble. Although both participants offered relevant considerations, ChicForest283 presented a more comprehensive and compelling argument by addressing the need for balance and the risks of unmonitored screen time on children's overall development. EnchantingMarsh94's rebuttal about potential conflicts was less detailed and did not fully counter the extensive points raised by ChicForest283 regarding health and developmental issues. Therefore, the winner of this debate is 'Pro' as ChicForest283 successfully articulated the necessity of screen time limits for the well-being of children.
