[quote=Anonymous]My preschool aged children do very well with thinking about screen time being the thing we can do to "take a break" after doing things that are more important. some days thats cleaning up, other days getting exercise, etc. They'll drag their feet on something and as soon as I say "the way we'll have time for tv tonight / this afternoon is to make sure we've cleaned up from the day (been active to keep our bodies healthy....whatever)" they are eagerly doing whatever it is and often end up doing it more and for longer than i'd required i personally think that thinking of screen time as something we can do to relax after we get done what we need to is a good lifelong mindset. Of course it'd be great if they read or did crafts or whatever instead as adults, but neither dh or i are that way and most adults i know aren't so i'm realistic about it[/quote]
