It is about a child from my family (not directly related to me, it is the child of my cousin's other aunt). He is 8 years old and only spends his time in front of the cell phone, iPad or console. I think he got the iPad for his 5th birthday (before that he played with his parents ', but plays kids' apps), a PS4 at Christmas when he was 6, and an Amazon Alexa this year when he was 8. He doesn't (yet) have a cell phone. With these gifts, his parents set their child's expectations so high that the PS5 will practically follow suit next year.
How do you think this consumption will affect his youth and later life? He's very intelligent and good at school, but gets annoyed for this and his weight. How will this go on?
This is absolutely wrong upbringing. And I'll say that for sure, even though I'm not of legal age.
Does the rest of the family see it the same way. But the question was, how will that affect the child? That the upbringing is wrong can already be read from my point of view
And what is the point now if we all blaspheme and speculate?
I think he just wants to hear other opinions.
I was hoping for answers from people studying psychology. We shouldn't blaspheme here, we're just worried

Well, it can happen that he will set wrong priorities. Stupidity can also arise if, for example, he never deals with the earth because there's always equipment on it. One can assume a lot. A child should really only have a technical device at around 9 years of age and then not the best of the best.
You are only describing a tiny part of his life. Your description is already shaped by your opinion. On this basis, you can't expect any meaningful further comments.
Ultimately, it would be up to the parents to get a real assessment or just take care of their child. You can only influence these. And then to say that any anonymous teens see the same way if so, won't help.
You *, thank you.
