[quote=Anonymous]I'm a developmental psychologist and I think the concern about screen time is sometimes overblown for school-aged kids. We only have evidence of detriment at when it's many hours a day and that is mainly from opportunity costs (e.g., less time outside, less physical activity, less face to face social interaction). The general recommendation is not to exceed 1-2 hours a day and focus on quality of engagement during that time. I personally think it's more important to build an attitude that screens are a tool for learning and enjoyment not a mindless habit and to teach your kids to self-regulate (e.g., monitor their time, monitor their enjoyment/learning) so using screens purposefully to improve French falls in that category. French show with French subtitles on is a great way to learn even if they are an early reader.[/quote]
