I do try and limit screen time whether its tv or ipads but i’m not overboard strict with it.. If I think they’ve been on too long I’ll ask them to take a break and go and play outside for a bit or build some lego etc. I also always try and get them out of the house as much as I can even if its just for a walk or a play in the park etc…
Honestly technology is everywhere these days and kids need to know how to use/work it, plus they can learn a lot from it, but I’ll always try and make sure they’re getting enough fresh air /exercise as well.

My toddler has no screen time at home. No gadgets, no tv but my husband & i dont watch tv. My 2yo reads, plays with his cars, farmyard friends, plays outside with his water table, can occupy himself & play with others, plays on his trampoline. It has been very easy… no screen time & we have a smart. happy 2yo, we figure he is going to be bombarded with screen technology as he grows so we are saving him from it while we can

I wouldn’t say I limit it but my daughter only uses it when I really need to distract her like if I’m doing dinner and she can’t help I have found if she watches it to often she stops listening and starts doing things she shouldn’t which is when I take the screens and put them up for a week or 2

It’s been a trial and error process but we have started allowing screen time after the kids have had an adequate amount of social time, play time and completed jobs. It has made a difference – also telling them how long they have before they get on. During the week it’s up to an hour, weekends it’s intermittent time split between outside play.

No it’s hard enough during lockdown. Do what’s best for your sanity

I don’t have limits especially during these times

Honestly this will be very unpopular but no I don’t have any limits for my children. Technology is unavoidable these days.

I have 3 and 5yo and they are watching TV in the morning for 1-1.5h and before bed 1h…sometimes they are doing something on ipad but its education app no longer than 20min each and not every day.

We’re quite strict. Nothing but (monitored) school work Monday to Thursday. A movie on Friday night. And then an hour or so on the computer on Saturdays and Sundays, and a couple of hours of
TV.

My daughter is only 2 and isn’t allowed to use a device at all. Not even watching a movie on my phone when we’re out an about. The only time we allow her to look at our phones is when it is still in our hands and all she wants to see is photos of herself (HAHA)

Definitely time limits with devices which does indeed include watching TV etc.

I don’t limit my 16 and 17yr old anymore, they’re at a age they have to take responsibility themselves. My 11yr old has no ipad and no tv as she has thrown her tablet on the floor and broke and we haven’t replaced it and has stolen devices many times. My youngest has restrictions.

Limits for every age in our household. Balance in all things is a must for us.

I aim for 1 hour a day but to be honesty with covid and a newborn that’s a bit out the Window right now unfortunately

We often let them know when it is time to stop using the device and they usually comply without complaint. Letting the battery run out is something that we’ve done before, but it isn’t them making the decision, which is what we are trying to teach them. What works for one family doesn’t work in another though; I hope that you get some success with your kids!
