Who hasn’t let Netflix run a little long on a Saturday morning just to enjoy a proper coffee and conversation with their partner? It’s just so much easier to give in to “five more minutes” than to rip the iPad out of their little hands. In a 2017 survey by the American non-profit Common Sense Media, 70 percent of parents said they’re concerned about the amount of time their kids spend using digital media. A 2016 Chatelaine survey of 1,000 women between 35 and 45 years of age revealed screen time is the No. I do my best to keep my kids’ screen time within what I consider a reasonable amount-a maximum of two hours per day, usually less-but they exceed that sometimes, and I’m also not comfortable with how focused they are on it. I’m embarrassed to admit how many times this scene has played out in my house.
I force my angry, zombie-like kids to the dinner table, where, in their irate state, they complain about what I’ve cooked, tell me that it’s not fair I made them turn off their shows and ask if they can watch more after dinner. An hour later, I force them to turn off their respective screens. I ask them to at least put their school bags away first-cue the whining.
LIMITING TIME ON IPAD FOR KIDS TV
My three kids get home from school, rush into the house and immediately beg for TV time.
