We have never had a screen time policy. I was always unlimited. He also watches a bunch of dumb crab on YouTube…but hey, I enjoy my stupid TikTok memes too…so why wouldn’t I let him.
I make fun of him when I think he does something stupid…but it’s in good spirit. My job as a parent is not to manipulate him into the life I think he should live…my job is to enable him to live his!
And Yes, our 5y old takes a full size dirt park half pipe…has done so ever since he has been 3y or so. I wouldn’t do that myself…but he does
He also is into skateboards, snowboards, plays basketball, soccer and what not. He got me into skateboarding at 40…don’t worry though, I wear a helmet :)
In this moment I am watching him race an RC car with 30-40mph across a meadow
Earlier today he was had. oculus headset strapped on and was playing job simulator
- Grustaf 5y agoHow do you ride a dirt bike in a half pipe? I think you're mixing up terminology here. And he must be very big for his age if he can ride a full-size dirt bike. > My job as a parent is not to manipulate him into the life I think he should live That happens to be exactly what your job is. Children don't know what's best for them, that's why they have parents.
- lazyasciiart 5y agoYou're misreading the words. It said "full size dirt park half pipe"
- Grustaf 5y agoSo what does he take to the "dirt park half pipe", and what is that? I've never seen a half pipe in a dirt park, do you ride it like a snowboard half pipe or a skate ramp?
