[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A kid like yours needs A LOT of calm, screen-free, outdoor time to detox from life at her dad’s house. Buying plants is good, but not the movie or Chuck E cheese. Next time, you should spend the rest of the day actually planting the plants. Or throw on a light raincoat and go for a hike. Even if it takes you an hour to drive to a safe hikeable place, it’s okay. You can chat in the car or listen to music/audiobooks or let her stare out the window.[/quote] ETA. Your new “ultimatum” regime seems too far in the opposite direction. I would suggest: - Only schedule the afternoon classes if it’s to replace screen time. Otherwise, keep that time unstructured and if needed, spend it with her to help her figure out ways to spend it productively without screens - Instead of a full screen ban, show her how to use them in a positive way. So instead of YouTube or TikTok, watch a movie together to relax after a full day of outdoor/physical time[/quote]
