WishForBoredom :
To be honest, limiting screen time just for the sake of it, especially in a world that is becoming more and more digital, feels like an outdated mentality (in my opinion, of course, before people come at me with pitchforks and torches).
The real challenge is teaching values. If we are having dinner as a family, there are no screens. Not because they are forbidden, but because family time is valuable. And yes, with small children, that will most likely need to start with simply forbidding them.
Then again, on a rainy day, what is the issue with allowing more screen time? Again, as long as we never forget values and responsibilities such as homework, family time, etc.
More than simply limiting screen time, it is important to be aware of how screens are being used, especially when it comes to communication with strangers.
“Playing without screens is important.” I totally agree. But then again, in a world that is becoming increasingly digital, screen time is also important, especially when it comes to learning how to use technology properly and responsibly.
