Screen time rules always spark debate, so here’s ours. 👇🏼
This is not a universal system — it’s what works for our family right now, and it’s been working well for a few months.
My kids are early risers and TV in the morning is part of our survival.
Not on individual tablets, they have to agree on what to watch, I drink my coffee, and I get work done for about an hour.
Then (free) screens are earned after they complete their schooling, chores and we do a house reset.
If they don’t complete the above mentioned they still get an hour on their tablet but it’s educational apps only.
Screens start after 3pm (for approximately an hour), YouTube is limited and apps are pre-approved by us.
Not about punishment.
About balance, priorities, and quiet time for me too 😅.
