[quote=Anonymous]I have an 11 year old, so I get that it is different, but he certainly has more than 4 hours per day.  At his age it is how they get their social-emotional connection. They are able to interact through game play.

I feel like it is not a problem for your young kids as well.  if I remember correctly there are some shows that encourage them to get up and move, so if they can do something other than just sit and watch that would be great but if not that is fine too.

With working parents and very few camps/daycare, what else can we do?  Many of us need our incomes so there is no other choice.

If you are worried about their eyes, what about audio books?  We have never allowed TV before school so when my son was younger he liked to listen to audio books in the morning.   It still keeps them engaged but no screens and they use a bit more imagination to try to picture the characters.  If they like to draw, maybe after a reading session they can draw their favorite scene and you can get 30 more min of work in.
