[quote=Anonymous]We have a 5.5 year old. We do no screens as part of our regular routine. As someone else pointed out, they get plenty of screens at school (much to my chagrin) but I shrug at that and just don’t do screens at home. Exceptions: If they’re sick, it’s hours of TV. Best way to get a kid to lay still and rest and not drive you crazy. Some limited screens on long train and plane rides. I aim for less than a third of the trip. About once every 2 months, we watch a movie together. Approximately 2-3 times a year, we are at our wits end for some reason (we’re sick, something happening at work, some family emergency, etc) and we’ll stick them in front of the TV for 30 mins. But this has literally happened less than 10 times in his whole life. There is absolutely no reason to make screens a part of your routine, and lots of reasons not to. [/quote]
