[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't let mine watch tv at all under the age of five.  They can watch some now- middle school/high school but they still ask if it is okay.  I'm pretty easy going - they tend to watch 4-5 hours a week during a normal school week.  More at vacation time.  They got phones in middle school - smart phones if kept straight As....no social media yet.  They group text with friends but I'm trying to avoid that.  They are all great readers and have lots of activities.  No one is glued to their phone during meals/around the house/ etc. [/quote]

Your high schooler asks permission before watching TV?[/quote]

Different poster, but everyone in my house asks permission before turning on the tv.  We aren’t all watching on our own private screens; we are watching on a tv in a communal space and tvs are loud and distracting so of course we ask before turning it on if anyone else is home and hanging out in the common open floor area.[/quote]

Really?  Your husband asks your kids for permission before he turns on the Nationals game, for example?  [/quote]
