[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I limit my 4yo and 6yo to one tv show each so they get a total of about 45 min per day. We often have family movie night on Fri and kids may get an extra hour on Sat or Sun. When they were younger, they got no screen time at all. Some of our friends don't limit screen time and their kids seem to always be on some sort of device - tv, ipad, wii, xbox, computer. [b]Every time we see them, they are playing games or watching tv[/b]. DH reminds me that we grew up watching tv. I admittedly watched a ton of tv as a child, probably 3 hours per day, more on weekends and breaks.[/quote] I think the issue here is the bolded. My kids have unlimited screen time, but I don't allow devices during times they are supposed to be socializing, unless it is the Wii (where other people can participate). I wouldn't come to your house and then let my kid play on my phone the whole time.[/quote]
