Just limit to one hour a day unless they’re programming or researching or creating and they’ll be fine.

Was limited to an hour of tv and games a day as a kid and of course craved more, but me and siblings did well in school and socially partially from that.

Anecdotal 2 cents.

I think this is a good point.

How are the screens being used—are they playing games or learning to make things? Making things should be encouraged.
