[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else not care about screentime that much?  I watched a ton of TV after school as a kid and I think I’m just fine.  My kids all have friends, participate in sports/extracurriculars, and are doing well in school.  We go on vacations, visit relatives, go to parks and museums and restaurants and they never ask for screens in those situations (so it’s clear they are capable of happily functioning without them).  [b]If they’re tired after a long day at school and they want to spend a couple of hours playing Minecraft[/b]… personally I don’t think it’s a big deal.  But the more I read this board the more I wonder how much of an outlier I am…[/quote]

For me in that scenario, I would have them read and go to bed early after dinner. [/quote]

But Why?  What if they’re tired, but not sleepy?  What if they just want to decompress by doing something easy and fun that doesn’t take much physical or mental effort?  [/quote]

I am not saying put them to bed right after school, rather 30-60 min early. I do not know of a scenario where extra rest would not help with a kid’s tiredness.

And the problem with defaulting to screens when you are bored or tired is that it becomes a lifetime of defaulting to screens when you are bored or tired.[/quote]
