[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My firstborn has seen 20-30 mins 3ish times a week since age 20 months (I kbad mommy).  If I’m having trouble getting the baby down at night, I put a video on my phone.  I hate it bc she’s always reluctant (to put it mildly) to give it back when the baby is down so I’m really trying to cut back even from this amount. We don’t have a tv in the bedrooms or main level so she never gets background tv.  I’ve told my husband he isn’t allowed to show her media and that the screen is only for me in an emergency when I’m managing them both.  Other than those restrictions, I’m not sure how else to limit it if the baby needs some coaxing at night to sleep.  Ideas welcome![/quote]

As the mom of tweens, this isn’t worth your angst. Allow her episodes of educational/curated by you shows, and when they go off, the TV gets turned off. As pps noted, if you are doing all of the other things “right”, this will not matter.[/quote]

Thank you for this.  We read to our oldest every day and she has 2-3 hours of outdoor play during each weekday and 1-2 on weekend days.  I think we are doing things “right” but the guilt really sneaks up now that I have 2 and have to divide my attention.[/quote]
