Balancing Screen Time
In taking steps toward balancing time on the screen vs. time off the screen, you may consider these options:
- Removing televisions or computers from your child’s room
- Set expectations/limits
- Not allowing mobile devices at the dinner table
- Suggest alternative activities like a board game or going to a park
- Determine an appropriate schedule for watching T.V. and spending time online
- And perhaps most importantly, be a good role model. Show your child a good example of balancing screen time
