[quote=Anonymous]You've got to loosen the reigns on the 10 year old. He's right, it's not fair. You don't have to go all the way back to an unlimited hour, but he should be allowed to do more. He's older. If the younger complains, it's fine to say that he's younger, and doesn't handle screens well, and so he's on hiatus, and as he gets older, as he learns to regulate himself better, he'll get more freedom. No, it might not be the same number of minutes or the same amount of freedom at the exact same age. That's life. I would require the older to keep the screens out of his little brother's face. ie - fun, loud video games with dad in a public space while little brother is stuck in his room? That's not fair. You'll need to brainstorm (ideally with 10 year olds input) on ways to get him what he'd like and can handle without rubbing it in 7s face. [/quote]
