From Outdoor Adventures to Screen Time: A Doctor's Nostalgic Look at Childhood

Childhood in the Digital Age: A Doctor's Reflection A Ukrainian family doctor, Dr. bilik, recently shared a personal video reflecting on his childhood. The video, which has gained significant traction online, contrasts the outdoor, active childhoods of previous generations with the screen-dominated experiences of today's youth. "I remember my childhood as incredibly fun and wonderful," Dr. bilik shares in the video. "My grandmother would walk with me, making sure I didn't run off." He then contrasts this with the current scene of children glued to their phones, even outdoors. "Now, I see kids outside, all on their phones," he observes, expressing concern about the lack of active play. Dr. bilik's video highlights a growing concern among parents and educators worldwide about the impact of excessive screen time on children's development. The video serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of balanced childhood experiences, fostering both technological literacy and active, engaging play.
