[quote=Anonymous]My mom did this. The TV was always on at the house, and when we would get in a car or sit down at a restaurant, she would hand DS her phone. It drove me batty at the time because too much screen time does give my kid behavioral issues. I way over-corrected at home for a long time, including during COVID when I was trying to WFH, oversee remote learning, and keep him entertained with “virtuous” activities that didn’t involve screens. I almost had a mental breakdown. Twice, actually. But he’s 12 now, and he’s doing great from a mental health, behavioral, and academic standpoint. He has a phone, but he rarely uses it. Sometimes he’ll watch TV, but mostly he reads or plays with Legos, or goes outside to fly his drone. So try not to let this drive you crazy, OP. Odds are your kids will be just fine in the long run.[/quote]
