How much TV does your teen watch on school days?

| Like hours? Mine has been logging 2-3. She NEVER has homework. Extracurriculars are later in the evening. |

None. We don’t allow tv on schools days. On the weekend … well, that is another story. They have lots of activities, but get up earlier than me and watch in the morning and I don’t police it on Friday or Saturday night. Sunday after activities we treat like a week night so they go to bed earlier. We started this pattern in elementary. It might be hard to impose now if this hadn’t been standard practice.

| We watch an hour long show in the evenings. I think he watches 1-2 half hour shows before I get home |

| Mine probably averages 2 hours. I vastly prefer TV watching to other types of screens. |

One DD and stepDD don't watch any, and stepDS likes to watch a half hour show "to unwind with a drink" and sometimes other DD will watch with him.
Don't worry - his drink is like, water with lemon or a cucumber or something. |

| None, but she is on YouTube maybe an hour or so? |

| Depending on how much homework he has, probably somewhere between 30 min and 2 hours— probably 1 hour most nights. Usually one episode of a show. |

Technically none, because we don't have a TV.
But I'm being facetious, because it's all screentime on their laptops or tablets. |

Why would you word it that way? How odd. |

It depends on the sport season.
One of my kids likes to watch sports and cook. I don’t complain because I like to eat, and he gets his work done and is active in extracurriculars. My other kid doesn’t have much free time because he works more slowly and spends a lot of time on music, when he does have time for screens it’s almost all video games, or FaceTiming his girlfriend. |

My 16 year old will occasionally watch a one hour show.
My 13 year old will watch something on her iPad if she has a free evening, usually while she does her nails. There’s not much TV watching during the school year. |

Absolutely. I am always heartened when I see my kids watching TV. |

I said it that way because I'm odd. I say everything slightly oddly.

I watched so much tv growing up and love watching it with my kid. |
