[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a limited-screens parent, and I allow my kids a bit more time to be on devices with cousins, doing things like Dragonvale, if that’s what the (usually older) cousins are into. Here’s what: if I want the cousins to be playing and active, ***I know I need to step up my parenting/aunt status and actually do something with them, or give them something concrete to do.*** Don’t be one of those annoying parents who is saying no screen time or wouldn’t it be nice to get off screens, as you sit on your arse with your drink and do nothing but talk to the adults.[/quote] I tend to be pretty actively involved with the kids, sometimes veering towards too much! It's good for them to have to think up the activity themselves.[/quote] Never said otherwise. But clearly if they are always on screen, they need more direction, and lazily saying so from the couch ain’t it.[/quote]
