A well-researched article about the pressures kids have today. I do agree that the instant spread of notifications even in non-social-media stuff isn't the healthiest environment for kids. It seems hard that school scores and stuff are handled as push notifications. Then again, I'm wondering if there is something that parents and kids can do to make that easier, to let the kid have control over when stuff comes into their phones?
For example, if the school app gives users the option to decline push notification and go to, say, email notifications, would that be helpful?
Also, another precaution kids can take is to remove auto-sync from email. Manually syncing email (by opening up the email app and dragging down to force-check fro new emails) is a way that kids can control WHEN they'll see new emails. This is actually how I do it myself, allowing me to have control of when emails come to my attention. OK, sometimes I sync it more often than an auto-sync would... but other times, it goes the other way and I'm glad that I'm not being interrupted by hearing a notification that I've got new mail.
Kids are losing their time to be kids because being a kid isn't profitable, unless being a kid sells products.
What a world.
