[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I think it’s too much.  A child’s brain development doesn’t change by outside circumstances like corona virus or the need to work from home.  As hard as it is, AAP recommendations are still valid.

I know how hard it is, OP.  I’m up at 4 every morning to get my work started before my 7 yr old and 2 yr old wake up.  We’re in a virus surge in LA and daycare and camp are closed too. [/quote]

there’s no science behind AAP recommendations. A mom exhausting herself and possibly compromising job performance isn’t taken into account. There’s no way I’m going to get up at 4 so I can follow AAP screentime recommendations, wtf![/quote]

There is only science behind it, PP.  The American Association of Pediatrics isn’t giving guidelines just to make your life harder.  Any definitive study to prove the harm would be unethical so after-studies are all we will ever have and they are compelling.  No, of course, your exhaustion isn’t taken into account nor should it be (although I guarantee the mother getting up at four isn’t less exhausted than you).
