Is this an advertising plug? Highly doubt any kid would be doing that. That's just the website they keep open to switch tabs to when you arrive. "Look, I was just looking at the weatherchannel!" LMAO.

I think we’re supposed to be impressed at what a quirky nerd she is as if it’s really cute. But, sneaking around at 2 isn’t very cute. The rules should be the same whether its video games or weather checking.

When I was 8 years old I would often stay up really late reading books.

Loss of screen time for a few days. And then parental controls on the devices with specific times it can be used. I don’t limit so much of the number of minutes as I do make sure it can’t be used early in the morning or late into the evening.
