Children lack experience and they lack assumptions developed under old parameters in a rapidly-changing world. Due to practice, adults will often be more persuasive whether their arguments are obsolete or not. And anyway, "under my roof," etc. I hope I parent with some humility.

Adults have all sorts of ideas about what kids should and should not be spending their time doing. I wonder what percentage of the first generation of at-home coders curdled in the shell with parents heavily restricting computer access (and patting themselves on the back for it).

Very smart people talk about how "screen time" is different *now* due to "superstimuli." This is a very reasonable-sounding argument, but no more so than the arguments a generation back. Indeed, messing around in the terminal or on geocities was quite addictive for a lot of kids.
