[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] or parents who refuse to let their kids have screen time, so they are mesmerized and brainless when they are in front of the TV and can't look away?[/quote]

Ha!  I let my son watch a 30 minute TV program every day, yet he is still mesmerized and brainless in front of the TV and can't look away.  I don't think there is a correlation between that and refusal of screen time.  [/quote]

We don't have any restrictions on the iPad (of course it is what is on there not the actual device) or tv and I can't get my kid to watch tv no matter how hard I try.  I beg him to so I can get stuff done... nope not my kid.  And, he will only play video games sometimes.  I try and try... nope... he will refuse and later he may do it for a while.

There is no coronation between screen time and mesmerized.  It depends on the kid and some enjoy it more than others.  I wish my kid would watch 30 minutes a day.[/quote]

+1  We have firm limits on screen time for DS because he'd happily spend all day, every day playing videogames.  DD doesn't really have any limits since she rarely wants to sit down to watch TV or do games.  Same thing w/ sweets - DS will overdo it without firm rules (yes, he's our challenging kid!) while the only thing DD goes overboard on is apples.  I guess if I had two kids like DD I'd think her healthy eating habits and lack of interest and TV were all due to my brilliant parenting :)  But, with two such different kids, I know that a lot of it is just luck, you get what you get and do the best you can with the temperaments/personalities of the kids you are given.
