[quote=Anonymous]DS6 is obsessed with space. He likes to put on YouTube videos of planets, stars, black holes, etc on our TV and pause the screen to draw the planet/star/etc on a piece of paper with colored pencils, label its name, and write whatever random facts appear on the screen (such as diameter—even though he does not clearly understand what “diameter” means). He can do this for more than an hour at a time without getting bored. We get the feeling this kind of screen time is not as bad as mindlessly and passively watching cartoons, but he still can get very grumpy when we turn the TV off and move on to the next activity, and it can put him in a bad mood which we have to deal with. Any thoughts? The emotional upset associated with this type of screen time is obviously not great.[/quote]
