[quote=Anonymous]I find these to threads fascinating. My kids are elementary age and get screen time for roughly 45 minutes to one hour each day before dinner. They can watch shows or play games like scrabble go and my older one can text with pre approved people who for now are all cousins and grandparents. Occasionally they can watch YouTube but since I supervise that it’s not always possible.

As far as I can tell we are pretty conservative compared to my kids friends. There might be one family that really does no screens during the week but I know they allow some video games. Most kids have much more access and I can’t believe the number who have their own phones already.

My younger one will count the minutes until screen time sometimes but he whines a lot. I will say dramatically limiting YouTube did help with behavior. We blocked channels for a while and eventually just decided we were going to have to supervise it. There’s some crazy stuff on there, even when you just think it’s videos of people playing video games.[/quote]
