[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have given in a bit on screen time for my 3 yo. Never more than an hour, and I do try to make sure at least half of it "nutritious" (educational programming or a yoga or dance video that will get her moving). But I've accepted sometimes she will zone out for 30 minutes while watching Doc McStuffins and found a way to be okay with it. It's not how I would handle this during non-Covid times, but I have to make some allowances.[/quote]

I wanted to add that, like another PP, we also try to have plenty of days with no screen time at all. Especially on weekends, but also pretty much anytime the weather is good. We spend as much time outside as we can. But I've also just accepted that my prior "no screen time" rule is incredibly burdensome in a world where we can't hire a babysitter when we need a break, and where we are both so mentally exhausted all the time. Allowing a little screen time has made us better parents because it gives us breaks when we need them and we really, really need them. [/quote]
