I went back and forth, but I am of the mindset that if I ban it they will either do I behind my back or rebel later in life. So I settled with 15 min of wherever they chose (other than social media, sorry nostr). They can watch age appropriate shows, play games, etc. They have unlimited time to play scratch for coding, talk/text with grandparents, and read books, though my older one is limited to a kindle for that to avoid the led screens. It took about 2 months for them to get used to the 15 min limit but now they have no complaints, play with their toys and play outside more, and many days don’t even pick up their tablets by their own choosing.

GM☕️ and Carpe Diem🌅. Woke up to a sick kid today 🤒, so original plans have to change. And need more coffee. #coffeechain

Thanks, but headed to the Manatee viewing center in Tampa. Same thing there, it fills up fast.

It is always a tough balance. A technology illiterate kid is not a good idea. I have sent one of my kids to coding camp already. However, I limit the time they spend alone on mindless activities. We can play a game as a family, they can read ebooks, but limited time with other platforms until they are older.
