[quote=Anonymous]I see it as ignorance/blind spot and having a lack of point of view. Ie, there is no big picture for these parents and that’s why they will just let the kids veg out. Typically the parent with the higher bar has some framework - right or wrong - that there should be X hours of screen time and certain rules on meal times and contents. Both can be wrong. I think it would be better if the lower bar parent did research and determined what their values are. They might say - “I think the kids will be healthier if we allow them to eat junk food sometimes because then it’s not super restricted” or “I think it’s unrealistic to do zero screen time” and the two parents can then discuss and compromise in a values conversation. Really each parent should be checking and balancing the other. Not sure if that made sense but I think both parents need to have informed viewpoints on food, screen time, what amount of activities is good, etc.[/quote]
