Immediate Gratification Diminishes Frustration Tolerance
Frequent phone use diminishes our ability to tolerate everyday frustrations, as the instant gratification provided by technology creates a preference for quick and easy solutions. This behavioral conditioning affects parents, leading to lower tolerance for their children's pushback and disappointments. The desire for immediate ease can result in parents yielding to children's demands without fostering resilience. As technology becomes accessible at earlier ages, children's exposure to instant gratification begins even before traditional ages of tech engagement. Consequently, both modeling and experiencing low frustration tolerance affect family dynamics.
