A mom hosting a sleepover for her son was surprised to find the experience dominated by electronic devices, rather than the traditional activities. Instead of togetherness, each child was absorbed in their own screen, leading to a chaotic dynamic rather than communal play. Seeking advice on Reddit, she received encouragement to establish screen-free rules for future gatherings and plan engaging activities instead. Many commenters shared similar experiences, suggesting that modern kids might have strayed from classic play due to their screen time addiction.
Half of the kids brought devices. iPad or Nintendo Switch, she said. It was a harsh wake-up call to what a slumber party in 2025 actually entails.
What is this? This is NOT what I expected to happen. They are not playing together. Everyone is doing something different.
