OP - To clarify is screen time watching tv and being on the computer or does it also mean phone talking or texting, too?  In either case, I assume she would be using a computer in an open access place in your home?  What is your rule in terms of a cell phone?

I think you sound like a great Mom and showing some flexibility is the right way to go, but not caving all the way to say daily screen time would seem important. How much depends on keeping it still more for the weekends and also on what she has for homework and outside activities on a given weekday.

Not so sure I am a good mom - I recently let her have an Instagam account and sometimes I have to literally pry her phone from her fingers.  Screen time means phone, computer, TV.  She doesn't talk on the phone much.  Computer use in public area of home.  What she wants to do with her screen time is either play video games or watch Dance Moms (will do this for hours).[/quote]

It's against the law to let an 11 yo have an Instagram account. You broke federal law there.[/quote]
