[quote=Anonymous]I’ve long felt that screens are just another form of media. They’re not intrinsically evil. What matters is the content accessed through them. There’s some truly awful stuff that kids need to be shielded from, a lot of mediocrity, and some real jewels that can be great for kids. They can really open up the world (or in your child’s case, the universe).

While I don’t think there’s a problem with screens themselves, I do think it’s important with any activity to follow parental direction. At various times, my kids balked at putting away a toy or coming home from the park. While I addressed such incidents as they arose, I didn’t take away all toys and lock my kids in the house. I might have temporarily restricted that specific activity to reinforce that it was a privilege they could lose if they weren’t mature enough to handle it, and then I’d give them another shot and hope they learned their lesson, reinforcing as necessary.
