[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't. I'm hoping they thank me later. Oldest not yet in high school, though, which is when it may be hard to hold out. My closest childhood friend works for one of the big Silicon Valley companies. Her kids go to "Forest School" and she tries not to let them see the parents on devices at all. She's seen into the belly of the beast and knows enough to be scared.[/quote] I work in tech in SF and our DD went to Forest School! Our kids had no screens except on 2+hour plane rides, and FaceTiming with relatives, until they were six. At six, they get screens when they're home sick. DH works in law, but the kids see us use screens mostly as tools - for directions, recipes, looking up stuff, etc. Phones are never out at mealtimes. Well before we even tried to get pregnant, DH and I talked about how our kids would never be the ones in a stroller with an iPad or iPhone watching videos. [/quote]
