That is not him enjoying the beach. That is the lazy parents way of keeping him busy so THEY can enjoy it. It's one thing to use technology every now and then, but really, it's their babysitter. He could have done that at home!

I agree. Why they thought this is cute to post, I'll never understand. This shows how disconnected he is and the only way he knows how to have fun or "behave" is to be in front of a screen. Most kids love one-on-one time with their family, playing in the water, playing in the sand, etc. that's extremely sad to see.

I had a kid that loves technology too. That said, we would make sure there was a healthy balance. He loved TV, so we made sure he only watched educational shows, and tried to limit his repeat watching as much as possible. They've made it a habit!
This is such a red flag for me in a few ways.
1. He doesn't know how to socialize.
2. He would rather look at a screen than play and enjoy the outdoors. He's missing the world around him! He's not learning anything from that either.
3. He laughs and seems happy much less than the average child.
4. When he's not allowed to have the technology he lashes or acts out. This could be signs that he's addicted to it.
5. They aren't taking this seriously. He possibly has sensory issues. Rarely laughs or smiles. He exhibits anti-social behaviour. He seems detached, has low verbal skills and is obsessive. Not to mention the seizures they are trying to sweep under the rug. There could be a serious explanation for all these... or he is becoming spoiled and just not being properly socialized. Either way not taking it seriously is a HUGE PROBLEM!
And it's only going to get worse when new baby comes unfortunately.

I guess my body just got done having a really good time and my uterus felt it neccessary to express itself.
