I feel a large part of HN are single people with no kids so you are not going to find anything good or insightful when it comes to parenting. There are two main schools of thought on the issue you mentioned - 1 let them learn early / no major electronics filter (I grew up watching tv I am fine crowd) - 2 let’s not let them have stuff they don’t understand.( I personally fall in this crowd) I think both options have their pros and cons. Given “right” and “wrong” as a measure is always relative, you need to consider the if your actions ultimately help them or hurt them in the long term goals which generally for parents is to raise kids that are responsible and self sufficient and take care of themselves in a unknown future. Once you (and your spouse) have a agreed “North Star” it’s easier to set the rules, enforce them and lead by example. Edited to add below answer -Do you limit screentime writ large with an overall limit? No “limit”. The rule is as little as possible. - Do you set limits on the kind of screentime they get? Yes- when we do show it’s either selected cartoons or nature or nova documentaries. The latter two is not a deliberate thing but mostly because I like to watch them they like to see it too. No Disney. Hate it with a passion. Their message is overwhelmingly emotional and romantic. In general I stay away from “movies” type things where there is a larger plot - What protocol do you follow (X hrs per day, have to ask first, but are typically no more than) have to ask is the baseline. Also they don’t know how to operate the tv(yet). Typically if it’s been more than one hour of their cartoons in a day they are done. I might allow them to watch documentary or half if I am watching it. - What do you do if they truly want to do something educational/positive with screentime but have hit their limits? Not have encountered this scenario but if I did I would not give them their screen time and have them understand that this time they used up their “credits” but next time they can plan for it. Just like how the real world works.
