I don't have kids but alot of the people I work with in my tech startup do and they seem to commonly speak (as if this is common knowledge amongst techy/modern parents) about no screen time. They have no screen time and start this at a very young age so it is not questioned later. Anything with a bright screen is not allowed during certain times of the day. The most interesting feedback I heard over lunch at work was this: That kids do better with no screen time (complain/argue/fight less) when their parents ALSO abide by no screen time. If you tell your kid no screen time but sit on the couch perusing your iphone all night but don't want your kids playing games on their ipad, what are you teaching them? Furthermore this example was used by a dad with an 18month yr old girl. He says she is very entranced as any child would be by a bright screen. It's very mysterious and alluring of course. While she has not screen time she is very interested in the bright lights coming from his screen, so now during no screen time he also puts his iphone away. So my advice is implement no screen time as a standard habit in the house, and also try to abide by it yourself. So maybe the best way to prepare for kids its to start by training yourself to have no screen time. (just an idea, I don't have kids what do I know).
