[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]op - ty for these replies this is so useful!
my kids have activities after school (usually like 2h of sports practice or games) and dont get home till 530-6. After dinner and homework they are fried and want to space out and watch tv (usually sports or that thing where you guess if it's cake but for the sake of candor, sometimes they watch random dudes playing roblox on youtube while I halfheartedly say 'this is dumb' from the kitchen whilst both making dinner and finishing up my workday). So we are averaging like 1.5h of screen time a day, but at that point they've had a 9-10h day of stuff and they want the downtime. I can't quite figure out what to do about it (esp my adhd/ mild asd 11 yo who is so fried after all his sports and school and behaving well that he needs to zone out). Is this a hill to die on? They are 8 and 11 and after they go to bed they both read for an hour. [/quote]

Surely, they'd find a way to "zone out" without TV if you didn't have it. Our TV is in the basement, where it's out of sight, out of mind. Our eight year old has activities, and I'm sure she's tired, but it's just not an option. She reads when she's bored.[/quote]
