As a mom I tend to get really caught up in this ideology that my child should not partake in having so much screen time which you know we've been doing good at sort of like he's an extracurricular activities like basketball and we don't really have a TV in our house anymore but I still wonder do you guys limit screen time for your kids this is a judgment free zone I'm not gonna judge but honestly my kids screen time is limited probably by accident more so then I'm Barbas But I'm curious to know do you guys do it on purpose and if so what kind of rules do you guys set for yourself or for your kids
I don't have exact rules but normally maybe every other day he does like 30 minutes to an hour and sometimes a little bit more just really depends on the day and then Friday nights we always have an easy night
But I would say on average maybe three times a week we do like maybe an hour at the max of screen time I am but I just like to be on the go all the time
You know what like I don't know I'm kind of on the fence about it I personally don't limit screen time but then I also get my daughter to do like activities and like take her out and what not so like there is a little bit of limitation but yeah I don't know I'm on the phone
Yeah I mean Mia as an adult I have issues of screen time let alone my kids so I I really do get them to cut down on that. It's not good for the health long term.
See this is a hard one for me with my baby definitely I don't put a lot on I use it as little as possible but with the older kids I've always been so torn on the subject
Because I think the more you limit some thing or like don't let them do some thing the more that they want to do it and like they might sneak behind your back and do it or like I don't know be resentful about it etc.
But I think it's really important for them to learn limits so that as an adult they can, you know, enforce those limits. and I think that it is important that, you know, your homework's done or you've played outside, you're taking.
Like just making sure that all of your responsibilities are taken care of first and then have Addit like go kid relax as much as you want with as much screen time as you want but I think like they'll find between school and chores and stuff they don't really have that much time
Just like we as adults don't really actually have all that much time between taking care of kids and our responsibilities and work and all of that so I don't know I'm sorry for the really long response but
I definitely agree. I think screen time should have limits to it, but it's so easy to kind just turn on something and have them watch that so you could do something else.
I think so yes when they're young of I know that once they're older they're going to start doing their own thing because I remember when I was around 1415 I just wanted to be alone and I use my phone
So I like don't really limit screen time but I also don't really like not limited either it kind of just says like I'll go with the flow situation if it's on it's on if it's not it's not and sometimes when it's on he's not even watching it so I don't really think about it too much
