[quote=jsmith123][quote=Anonymous]This is OP.  Thanks for the responses.  While I had been hoping for more at least one hour of screen time post - I appreciate that less time is better.

Currently my 4 year old gets one hour during the 2 year olds nap and the 2 year old gets none.  He only gets TV, we do not own any tablet and he is not allowed on my phone.  I was thinking I was on the low end, but I guess not.  We do stay busy getting out to the playground/woods in the early morning and a water activity in the afternoon and then all the activities while at home but my 4 year old is high energy.

I am grateful for the opportunity to spend this time with my kids, but damn if I'm not exhausted between 1-3.  Way more tired than when I am out of the house working.[/quote]

OP this all sounds fine.

When my oldest was 4, he'd do some quiet time prior to video time during his little brother's nap.  Him successfully completing quiet time "earned" his video time so he learned very quickly he actually had to stay in his room and play quietly.  You could try that if you wanted to reduce video time during the nap.

But, if not, then don't worry about it.  This is working for you and your family right now and honestly that's what's most important.[/quote]
