[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pediatrician here. OP, I think you are doing great. Once you introduce more screen time, you can’t go back. Besides FaceTiming relatives, I would limit screens until it’s really necessary (like in middle school when schoolwork is done on computers). I have 2 teens. During elementary, we did no screens during school days, and then limited on the weekends. Screens are used so often as pacifiers these days, I feel like young kids don’t know how to cope in new situations. On the other hand, I do see the benefits of screens for older kids; nowadays, it is the way they socialize and keep in touch, so I am not against screens forever. At some point, you’ll need to guide them to balance screen use. Read Screenwise by Deborah Heitner. [/quote] +1. As a teacher, I agree. [/quote]
