Opening Arguments

Pro Opening - TrendyTide205
As someone who deeply cares about children's well-being, I believe we must set limits on screen time. Unrestricted use impacts their emotional health, leading to anxiety and depression. Have you seen their innocent eyes glued to screens, missing out on real-life connections? It breaks my heart. Limiting screen time fosters healthier habits, more family interaction, and emotional growth. Let's protect their childhood joy and ensure they thrive emotionally, not just technologically.

Rebuttals

Pro Rebuttal - TrendyTide205
It’s heartbreaking to see children losing their childhood to screens. You argue that limiting screen time is unnecessary, but have you considered the emotional void it creates? The loneliness and detachment they feel when digital confronts real life? Unregulated screen time robs them of invaluable moments with family and friends. Each minute away from the screen allows them to build meaningful, lasting memories and emotional stability. Protecting their emotional health isn't just essential—it's an act of love. Limiting screen time isn't about restriction; it's about safeguarding their happiness and nurturing their true potential.
