[quote=Anonymous]I think your screen time rules are too strict. I promise you, PROMISE you, that she will start sneaking around and doing stuff behind your back the second she has the ability. My parents had similar rules about screen time growing up and the second I was old enough to be left home alone for prolonged periods (around 11), the TV went on the second they pulled out of the driveway and didn't go off until they came back. And most of it was awful daytime crap: Jerry Springer, People's Court, Maury, just terrible stuff, but that's what was on and I was desperate for TV, so I watched it. She will start doing the same sort of thing soon if she hasn't already. I'm still resentful 20 years later of how out-of-step I felt with my peer group due to all the restrictions and do not have the same draconian rules with my own kids. [/quote]
