How do you guys handle screen time and what rules do you have? We’ve settled on “intentional” screen time like Friday night movies, but also some situations like when our kid is sick.
Also, any favorites? Bluey is by far the favorite here, though Ponyo is a recent strong contender.
Weekdays we allow screen time for about an hour after bath time. Only curated educational and play apps. Absolutely no video, browser, messaging or video chat (kids are both under 6).
They get YouTube kids and Netflix kids enabled accounts on Friday and Saturday evening. Both only allow videos or creators we approve. Search is off.
Everything shuts off at least an hour before bedtime. Any serious arguing or fighting is tech timeout for the whole day or more.
It’s not perfect but it works for the time being. We use an app called Kidslox to manage their devices.
All bets are off for sick days.
