[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No passive dopamine screens - YouTube, video games etc.

The science around how this dumbs your kids brains is astounding.

I can’t control screens at school so kid has no device.

TV after school if homework is done is unlimited but that has to end for meal times and bed.

When my child gets device it’s mine and he knows limited capacity, until we arrive at a destination, 20 minutes for exceptional behavior. So he looks at how long a video will be or a game and doesn’t waste his time.

We were just at dinner w distant cousins- ages 6, 12 and 13. All kids were glued to screens and couldn’t talk to him. Been at Disney, watched kids glued to screens while Mickey walks by. My kid sees this and doesn’t want to be like that.

All the organic food won’t make your kid smart, the devices won’t make your kid smart. But it does make for very “obedient” kids as long as you have a charge [/quote]

We do very low screen at home and the problem is my kid is the screen kid at a restaurant. Whenever there is tvs in a restaurant, he watches it even if it’s a random commercial or tennis. Screen kids can often ignore the tv. Or they might, if they weren’t on the iPad. [/quote]
