How much screen time do you allow?

Question

My 19 month old loves his I pad he watches loads of YouTube videos and nursery rhymes but I think he’s maybe on it too much

Answer

Hardly ever. My daughter will occasionally watch her older brother play a game on the iPad but that’s few and far between. The only screen time she gets is when we FaceTimes someone or looking at pictures on phones. We will also have a movie playing every once in a while and she will sit and watch a little of it but not much. We don’t have a tv in our main living room, so she isn’t exposed to it on a daily basis. They say screen time before 2 is not good for their development so I try not allow much for her. My older son doesn’t get much either because he doesn’t have much interest, we are outside people so we are always outside when we can be. I’m a firm believer that kids learn so much more through play and interaction. I don’t like the idea of them spending to much time on screens, every once in a while is fine but not daily.

Answer

the tv in the house is always on with Disney Junior. In between her playing throughout the day she’ll go by the tv and watch and then back to playing.

Answer

Tv is on quite a bit through out the evening probably about 2 hrs worth of what he may or may not pay attention to. I have 5 yr olds that watch bedtime shows. He doesn’t get a tablet but he sits in daddy’s lap while he watches tik tock which annoys me but at least he is cuddling daddy 🤷‍♀️

Answer

5-10 minutes a few days a week.

Answer

Non really during the weekdays. But we do watch a family moving together on the weekends.

Answer

None except FaceTiming occasionally with grandparents. I’m not actively against it, I just don’t see a point in bringing it into our lives and making it a thing for her. 
I hate having the tv on all day (background noise drives me up a wall) so she’s never been exposed to it except in restaurants or at someone else’s house.

Answer

None because it decreases their IQ in adulthood, this has been shown both when looking at brain scans later in life as well as intelligence tests. No screen time before the age of 2, unless you sit next to them and explain what is going on on the screen.

Answer

My kid rarely sits and watches tv. She mostly pauses to watch a commercial in between running and playing.

My TV is on in the background, if we are inside. She doesn't get a tablet or phone. Never watched YouTube.
