And my kids are early birds (awake around 5:30ish am). We leave for school at 8:59 am but they get so much done: reading, art, homework, studying, playing, etc. I was just thinking last night as my son started and finished a long novel yesterday from after school til bedtime (with homework, dinner, studying and shower, too) that with electronics that would never happen. Some reading? Sure. A passion for it? Not so much.
THIS is courageous parenting. With the option of screen time, the kid will always choose screen time. Over play, reading, daydreaming, art projects. It needs to not be an option.
