[quote=Anonymous]It’s hard - but screen time should be limited as much as you can possibly get away with.  There are so many negatives to a kids growing brain, whether it’s from the dopamine hit they get and not feeling good about real world activities, to be isolated, not learning how to manage down time and being bored. Plus, games like Roblox are open ended and essentially never end so it is developed to make it hard to “end” play forever.  Overall, just not a great time filler.  And I say this having to deal with what seems like constant battles to limit my own DD.    We just had a big blow out over 3 hours spent online (mostly glued to Roblox) and not being able to calmly bring the gaming to an end.  I just bought a whiteboard and told her she has 10 hours total to use during the week. With guidance to really stick to an hour a night on weekday. Hoping the visual cues that show the time getting smaller and smaller might help her balance her hours online better.  There is no right or wrong amount of time online.  But less is best no matter how you spin it.  [/quote]
