[quote=Anonymous]We dont limit TV. He has no access to other screens like phones or tablets- anything that is highly interactive. He will be 4 in 2 months and we just started doing some FaceTime with my Dad and his uncles. When we decide to introduce tablets we will limit TV time.

Some days its only 20-30 minutes. Other days its 3/4 hours total. He will watch a whole movie. We definitely encourage shows with educational aspects vs hype shows, although Bluey, my personal favorite, is probably more a hype show than I would like.  :lol:

He averages 2-6 hours outside a day even during the winter. We go to museums, go on hikes, check out playgrounds every weekend, etc.

I think we are all doing our best with what we have at our disposal. He is an only and that comes with its own drawbacks- he has all of our attention but he doesnt have anyone outside of us to engage in parallel/direct play. Because he is under 5 we are still dealing with closures, quarantines, testing and staying home until cleared while maintaining 2 FT jobs and no family help. I have friends who can call in Grandma or even Aunts/Uncles to take the day but thats not a possibility for everyone.

I am actually more conservative for phone use vs TV. Our child will not have a smartphone until high school and I know I am in the minority about that.
