[quote=Anonymous]I try to focus on type of screen time and then during the week try not do it very much unless it’s a rainy day, but lax on the weekend. But type matters the most- like others have said we keep it to our main tv for our 4-7 yr old kids. Mostly on pbs kids shows they have to choose together (not each on their own screen). Very limited computer game time because they seem to get plenty at school now.

It’s fine to do some op, but the biggest thing is to try to have it be time that is actually focused on things that tell stories - not short clips that have no plot like YouTube kids or quick games with constant constant rewards and dopamine hits. Another thing is try to do ONE thing at a time - not watching tv plus playing a game on an iPad, that is really not great for the growing brain. Those quick games and short clips are fine here and there but don’t make them a regular thing because they really train the kids brain on dopamine hits and make regular things like reading a book, taking a walk, playing legos, feel less fun because they aren’t getting that same hit [/quote]
