Whether your kids want an extra hour of animal crossing, a few more minutes to chat with their friends or a few more episodes to finish their show, setting limits on screen time during this time when everyone’s stuck at home can be a challenge.
And with school time being virtual, it’s becoming more difficult to regulate and monitor screen time for kids. And with parents on their own devices, for work and for play, it can also be a challenge to model good behavior.
How are you discussing and regulating tech time for your kids? What have been the challenges? What strategies have worked for you? Call us at 866-893-5722.
