Children's screen time should be limited because excessive exposure can harm their development. Studies suggest that too much screen time is linked to obesity, sleep problems, and reduced academic performance. Interactive play and physical activities are crucial for healthy cognitive, social, and physical growth. By setting screen time limits, we encourage children to engage in diverse activities that foster well-rounded development.

While you argue that setting screen time limits restricts children's freedom and learning opportunities, it's important to note that unregulated screen use can lead to more harm than good. Controlled limits ensure that children are still exposed to beneficial content while protecting them from negative effects like impaired social skills and attention issues. Balanced screen time can coexist with other enriching activities, promoting a healthier, holistic growth.

The debate centers around whether limits should be imposed on children's screen time. PlayfulRainbow616, in favor of screen time limits, presented a coherent and logical argument stating that excessive screen time is linked to negative outcomes such as obesity, sleep issues, and reduced academic performance. They emphasize that limiting screen time fosters involvement in diverse activities that promote holistic development. In contrast, PristineSwamp347 did not provide any substantive arguments or points against the imposition of screen time limits. Their rebuttal was marked by a lack of specific points or evidence to support the stance that screen time limits are unnecessary or detrimental. Overall, PlayfulRainbow616 presented a logical and consistent argument, though with a proficiency level of 1, the depth and persuasiveness could have been stronger. However, given the absence of compelling counterarguments from PristineSwamp347, the Pro side, represented by PlayfulRainbow616, is declared the winner.
