Digital devices play an essentical part in teenagers’lives nowadays. I strongly believe that
parents shouldn’t strictly limit their children’s screen time for the following reasons.
First of all, I think thay by limiting the use os technology, parents will aslo limit what teens
can benefit it. Teenagers can be used for study purpose,they can access internet to download
data and can learn lots of useful knowledge and necessary skills through online educational
videos.
In addition, teenagers’s screen time is strictly controlled by their parents, the gap between
parents and their children may become wider.Teenagers may refuse to talk to them.
In conclusion, I think that it’s not a good ideal for parents to strictly limit their
teenagers’screen time. The gap between parents and their children will be reduced and can
develop a better with their children if they don’t control the time spent on electronic devices.
