I’m a big believer in screen time limits. These days kids are on devices too much and a lot of them that are on their devices haven’t the social skills needed to be in our communities. I feel really sad that this is happening and it’ll get worse with AI. I don’t know whether your kids are interested in sport but that’s a great way of keeping them off and they’re also mingling with other kids and learning to work as a team and getting skills that they’ll use in life. If they’re not into sports there are clubs for science etc that might suit them but definitely put down some rules for screen time. There’s always games you could play with them as a family as well.

I think these days it’s hard to set limits without push back or attitude, but it’s a necessary step. Do they have any sports or activities they enjoy and could join a team or club outside of school? That’s a great way to get them active, social and off the screens
