I have 5 kids age 8 and under. The get electronics are a reward for good behavior like any other. The default is no electronics or TV. If they do something to earn some time with them, they can have them. Things they can do (nothing counts if we have to ask them to do it):
- Clean up their messes or their rooms
- General housekeeping/chores
- Worksheets from their workbooks (they all have workbooks from the next grade up)
- Reading a chapter or so in a "chapter book"
- A couple of other learning/development activities (Soduku, puzzles, etc.)
If they do one of those things on their own, they get electronics for a bit, or some other treat (candy, etc).
So far it is working well, especially the worksheets. The first two kids are in grade school, and teachers are consistently impressed with them.
