We all feel they ‘should’ be spending their downtime reading classic literature or arts and crafts while hypocritically spending our own time watching mindless garbage .

Excuse me, building a million Sim houses is a very productive use of my time.

There is obviously a point while things like Married at first sight rate so highly.

My 7 year old DS used to watch that Ryan kid a bit but has gone off him now which is good.  It never made him want more stuff though.  Now he likes to watch videos if people (kids and adults) opening Coles mini shops or Woolworths  Ooshies.  He watches other things too, but these are the current unboxing type of video he watches.

Thanks for the information! She has some great information on her website.

I highly recommend her as a guest speaker. She does a parent presentation where she explains lots of the apps and games the kids use. She apparently uses them herself to get a real understanding of the way kids and predators use them.

Last year she told us to be wary of TikTok and she was right to, they have just been fined $8 million for privacy violations of children:

She also showed us some inappropriate footage of Roblox, which on the surface seemed pretty harmless.

There’s so much inappropriate content out there on sites like YouTube that parents are unaware of.

The original point to unboxing videos was to show the quality/durability etc of the toy, not just take out if the box, comment on colour and be done with it, they first started by adults as actual reviews of the toys to give people an idea if the item was worth buying for the kids.
