[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you want is a happy, well-rounded child who has opportunities to socialize with peers, time outdoors, and is kind to others. Kids mature at different rates. His teacher will know best how he compares to kids his age, so talk to the teacher about any concerns. You don’t have to coach him along the path of growing up. He has plenty of time to develop and find his passions. He sounds fine. Good job raising such a great kid.[/quote] I agree with the priorities list here - balance is important. In order to accomplish that I don't allow much time on screens at all. After a school day, sports practice (1x per week), instrument practice (every week day when there's no lesson), reading, time with family and/or friends, and outside time there really isn't time for screens. My kids honestly don't know when other kids fit daily screen time in![/quote]
