Our society struggles with boundaries. So many parents just let their kids do whatever on whatever and wonder why their kids have problems. We set boundaries to protect kids. Technology is no different. Don't rob them of their childhood because you couldn't be bothered to parent them. Oh and those toddlers are savage!!!

In response to this - "But Shrier calls it out: These are just memories. And they sure as hell don’t include “ancestral trauma,” as the book purports. The idea that we could be experiencing the effects of our ancestors’ trauma? It's not possible. Obviously, generational effects drip down, but not in an actual biological way."

Is she a therapist? Did she conduct studies or include studies in the book that supports this? Has she worked with populations that have experienced generational trauma? Like people of color, immigrants, minorities, etc.
