[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Despite someone saying that kids will be better at using downtime if they have more of it, my experience is that this isn't always the case. Lot of kids are addicted to screens.[/quote] Screentime isn't the same as downtime. Screens have the disadvantanges of activities, like the adult direction, and none of the advantages, like making friends, learning skills, or getting exercise. Yes, if a kid is going to spend all that time on a screen, it's better for them to be in an activity, unless paying for or transporting to the activity is super stressful for the family system.
