[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one of the reasons we are sending our kid to Waldorf school. I want our kid to have a significant chunk of childhood that’s screen-free, with other kids whose families also value that.

We do watch some TV (Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, Jeopardy!) at home. We try to stay busy with outdoor activity so that TV time is less available and more limited. Probably evens out to an hour or so per day. We are not super-restrictive with content at this point, but there was no TV at all until about 2. Once you open that box, it’s hard to scale back. I’d say it was probably 15 mins. 3-4x/week at two, a movie 2-3x/week at 3. All bets were off at 4 during the pandemic. We’ve definitely scaled back A LOT in the past few months, and not without a struggle.

My nephews are video game zombies—even the youngest was addicted to Minecraft by K. They have no idea how to interact with humans without screens, carry phones and tablets wherever they go, have limited social skills, are significantly overweight. [/quote]
