[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I kind of hate screens- but please - give parents a break. Parents need time to do chores etc. an hour or less a day screen time isn’t gonna hurt any kid.[/quote] If it isn’t impacting a kid’s behavior, you’re right. But if it is impacting their behavior, you’re wrong. We needed to go cold turkey for a week (we used a conveniently scheduled vacation in a remote location). Then new routines when we got home, including no screens on weekdays. The “thirty minutes a day” was controlling our entire life - kid tried to plan it out, just sat around waiting for the time, whined for more, then would feel extremely insulted if we didn’t have time for screen that day because he has come to see it as his right. None of that was the moderation message I meant to send. [/quote]
