It’s really interesting to see the different approaches. We’ve spoke to loads of parents in the past few months whilst building URSOR[0], where we are creating a safe space for kids on the internet to discover, learn and play online, and providing parents the control and visibility they need to protect their kids.
In terms of managing screen-time and developing healthy digital habits we’ve written a blog post discussing three general themes that are important in reaching the right set up for you [1]. And it’ll be different for every parent.
To summarise
- It’s important to find a balance rather than going for extremes when managing device times, as other commenters have said, super-restrictive rules often leads to adverse behaviour.
- Be a good role-model when it comes to managing screen time. Be present with your kids and try to set clear boundaries between work time and family time (although this can be tough)
- Make it a family discussion. Set clear rules, but involve kids in the decision. And be involved in your kids screen time!
