[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree, OP.  It is my goal and so far it seems to be a long process, teaching "do everything you need to do before doing things you want to do (i.e. screens)".

Also, when we were kids, TV would eventually get boring, and even in my 20s at a boring job, I would reach the end of the internet.  But now, videos are endless and kids can watch content 247 forever without running out or getting bored.  [/quote]

Yours is the first comment, I’m going to try to read each one, because this is truly a challenge for me that’s cutting deep to the heart of our family. We’ve always been a little bit more of a DOING family. No iPads. We go for things. With kids 6+, were molding into less activity, more screen life.

I have a family member who I admire that approaches it opposite of me. They let the kids have it all. All the screens. There are some positives to the kids regulating this on their own. But I also see her complain about it. And they’re on till like 4am sometimes. I don’t think it’s good. Not for us.[/quote]
