[quote=Anonymous]My 10-year old (4th grade) DD has three days a week where she has an activity that meets very shortly after school ends. Those are long and active days. When she gets home, she wants to relax/unwind before starting homework/chores/instrument practice, etc. I think that's totally understandable! And often she wants to relax with a screen, which, really, is fine too. So, she is allowed about 30-45 minutes to watch a SHOW -- not mindless crap videos on youtube -- and then she does homework, practicing, chores. (Dinner obviously happens somewhere in there too.) After that she is free to relax, chill out, etc., but at this point no screens allowed. She is very good at finding ways to entertain herself generally (often chooses to read), so the earlier screen time we are allowing must not be the end of the world. This works for us. [/quote]
