[quote=Anonymous]For us it's all about balance. Our kids do get screen time every day (they can choose if their screen time is spent on the Nintendo switch or ipad or watching tv) but it's balanced w/ a lot of other things: activities they're involved in--sports teams, scouts, dance/gymnastics classes, play dates w/ friends, family outings. For their daily screen time we set limits. No more than 30 mins at a time on school days and no more than 1 hr at a time on weekends. And we are very strict w/ those time limits. There is no leeway--you're in the middle of a game/show? Sorry it still goes off. And we're pretty strict about content of what they do on screens. We don't allow any violent video games or tv shows/movies (the video games we own are mostly sports NBA, FIFA, and we also have some Mario games and Zelda. That's it. They are not allowed to do Fortnite or Roblox).

It works well for us at this stage w/ a 9 year old and 7 year old. We'll see how it evolves as they get older. But I plan to remain strict about screen time and content.[/quote]
