[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound rigid. Why do you ban screen time? That's so weird.[/quote]

Go do your homework dear. The parents get to make the rules. When you have children you get to make the rules that you believe are in their best interest.

Cut the patronizing bullshit. I'm a parent of two, ages 10 and 8. Don't be such a twat.

You're needlessly rigid. What possible good reason do you have for restricting the screen time, other than you get to make the rules? Is that how you run your household? Reminding the children at every opportunity that you're in charge?

You must really suck at parenting. Jesus. Take a class or something.[/quote]

Wow.  Not sure why you're so angry at someone else's screen time rules.  Not PP, but we also don't allow screen time M-Th in our house.  Why?  Because one child has ADHD and has serious difficulty self-regulating and meltdowns occur on a regular basis when it comes to either playing or getting off a video game/computer.  We now have a set schedule: none on school days except for an hour on Friday, and then 2 hours Saturday and 2 on Sunday; 2 hours also on holidays.  They get to choose whether to do the 2 hours all at once or break it up.  Life is so much calmer now that they know what to expect.

We've taken parenting classes and worked with therapist and this is exactly what we were advised to do: routine and schedule and cutting back on screen time.  Many kids have difficulty with screen time.  Every family I know that limits it this way says it's been a godsend.
