My kids are bigger now but what I did to get them to end on time was I had a jar of marbles and an empty one… every time they ended on time without hesitation they earned a marble in the empty jar. Once the jar was half filled we got a special treat. It worked for a summer.

Are Sundays more complicated with limiting screen time for your kids?

my daughter is 16 now and has a active phone since she was 10 1/2 and was in 5th grade. I have never limited screen time. don't see a reason to. hope your system works for you.

My son has a timer on his phone. It’s does shut off at a certain time. He can use it for emergencies if needed. Since my 13yr old wakes up at 5am most days….he just goes on the computer before school. He plays percussion in the band, gets good grades. Really no limits. As summer approaches, we will be in the pool often. If I’m on my phone, my son can be on his.

You know what I really like this? It emphasizes screen time as a reward. I would guess this system keeps kids from incorporating mindless scrolling into their days. I’d love to know how this works out for your family.

I struggle with this too. I live in Arizona so outside time in the summer is not always an option when it is 110 degrees out. My daughter is going into fourth grade we have a reading program through her school she does and I tell her she can not use the tv or tablet until she cleaned her room read the daily bible reading and then she only has 60 minutes.

Washing the strawberries is worth 30 min of screen time! 😄

My youngest is 18. And when I listen to screen time issues I think I had it better with television, not handheld screens. My kids were not morning people, so we had little to no television in the mornings. In the summer after camp, that was outside not an inside camp, they were allowed an hour then we would discuss dinner and play with kids on the street. With inside camps, they would go immediately to a park or the pool after camp, so no screen. But then when I made dinner I’d let them watch. I also did mandatory 30 mins of reading when they got older. In the afternoon, my kids had summer read in and it was helpful getting it done. My middle kid was dyslexic, so he couldn’t read on his own until 5%th grade
