The GP said "I restrict screen time"

I take this as limit rather than ban. Which I think is a good thing. Screen time is addictive, especially for kids. We all know it. Try and pull your 4 year old away from the TV to get them ready and come back with your results.

It is like restricting (but not banning) sugar, and for older kids (depending on your country etc.), caffeine and alcohol.

Get them ready and THEN plonk them in front of the TV and you can get ready in peace. We learned this quickly... ;)

Then you have to prize them away when you want to leave the house.
