[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I have a BS and MA in child development, and I am Montessori certified. I am also a mom to an 8 year old daughter. Respectfully, I think you are way over the top. Technology is part of our world, and not something to be hidden or completely denied to your child. My daughter has unlimited screen use. HOWEVER, this is in addition to 4+ hours of dance class per week, and numerous other rotating activities. For example, this weekend, we are seeing Sound Of Music on stage, working on her Misty Copeland book report, she had a kid’s science / dissection class, and 2 playdates. Last weekend, we went to a histoey museum to see an exhibit on color, and spent no less than 5 hours in the playground. So, when we are home, i feel we are both entitled to chill out. If she wants the ilad or phone during this time. I am fine with it. As your child gets older, you may want to rethink your current technology policy. Do what feels right to you, but consider your husband’s perspective, too. Good luck. I am sure you will figure it all out.[/quote]
