[quote=Anonymous]I think it’s perfectly normal to want to unwind between school/activities and homework/chores. I expect my son to fully unpack his backpack by pulling all his lunch items out, hang coat up, give me school communications, then he can fix himself a snack and just veg out but no screens. He usually putts around chatting, playing a manual game, or reads on the floor. After 20-30 minutes of this we move into homework or he helps me with dinner prep, his choice. Instrument practice after dinner. I don’t think kids are ready to turn screens off after they have relaxed sufficiently. So either do no screens, or set a very hard limit of one 20 minute show or something. [/quote]
