[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't restrict or measure screen time. It is a part of life and can be useful. By taking this approach, it is never a battle. My 7 year old enjoys screens and is also sports crazy and very conscious about getting his homework done because he is eager to please parents and teachers. My 5 year old likes some shows but would rather play with whatever toy she is into or turning rocks over in the yard to find bugs. Everything just works smoothly for us this way.

No, it is never a battle because your kid doesn't have the temperament to overdo/get addicted to it.  Those with kids (like OP) who have issues do need to limit just as the kids will have to consciously limit themselves as adults (maybe with internet blocker etc).

Its the same with sweets.  Moms with kids who don't overindulge point to their "all things in moderation" philosophy rather than genes.  But my mom did the moderation thing, and I still binge ate sweets when I got to college. Today there are just foods I do not buy or have in the house because I will eat them. All of them.  [/quote]
