[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I admit I deal with it too, but how much more time would we have if we gave up the guilt on screen time? [/quote] This. I very much want to be one of those people who doesn't care, and I think sometimes I even accomplish it, but it's such a constant touchpoint for parents that it's impossible not to feel at least some guilt about my kid watching TV. Though realistically, if we got rid of the guilt about TV, we would just replace it with something else -- what our kids eat, where they go to school, how much exercise they get, how much time they spend reading, etc. There is no escaping parental guilt in our culture at this point. It's baked into the very idea of becoming a parent. We encourage people to have children, offer little to no societal support to families, and then sit back and grade parents on how they perform. Which, in the end, is just a way of grading parents on their available resources since that's what it boils down to anyway.[/quote]
