[quote=Anonymous]House rule: no screens until after lunch or evening, or something. The problem is if they wake up and immediately have a screen you will be dealing with whining about more more more the rest of the day. And the obvious: have a start and stop time for how much they watch. What works in my house (8 year old): No screens before 1:00PM, year round. We have one TV in the living room and that is the only place TV or an ipad can be used. During the week there is a 1 hour limit on screens. Weekends and home from school days are 2 hour limits. This can flex. Some days kid watches no TV or ipad. Other days we do a family movie night after they have had already had screen time on their own. If a screen or TV is on, that is time the kid watches. Meaning no TV on as background noise or while kid is playing or doing something else. [/quote]
