[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have two kids, 4 and 1. We don’t have a TV and our kids generally don’t interact with screens at all except for FaceTime. One thing I’ve noticed is that the kids are forced to do more helping out when there isn’t a screen option. Like, I remember as a kid watching TV while my mom cooked dinner every night. Our kids can play by themselves while we cook but if they get bored of that the other option is helping us, so my daughter has learned how to do a lot on the kitchen. [b]There’s just more time for other better things to do and more incentive to do them when screens aren’t an easy go-to option.[/b][/quote]

People like OP and you (and me) will get trashed by other posters who let their kids have free rein of devices so the adults can indulge their own screen addictions. [b]And no, snatching a few min of DCUM while the kids are playing independently or after they go to bed doesn’t make me a hypocrite. [/b]When screentime is always an option for kids, they lose their desire to do anything else.[/quote]

Yes it does.  And I also bet it’s way more than the few minutes you pretending it is.[/quote]
