[quote=Anonymous]This one of two main reasons I don't bother placing limits on screen time: so that I don't have to define such a nebulous term and treat as a negative many things I consider to offer at least as much value as non-electronic pastimes. For the purposes of setting limits, I would assume that all count since all involve looking at a screen. But if they're doing something that's interesting and has creative or educational value, I'm not sure that makes sense to treat the exact same way as video games. And, frankly, as long as the kid has a variety of activities that they regularly enjoy, including some that are physically active and some that are not involving electronics, and as long as other obligations such as chores and schoolwork are satisfactorily completed, I'm not sure why "screen time" is specifically objectionable [/quote]
