Don’t ‘do a Kirstie Allsopp’ who bashed up and broke her kids’ iPads in a fit of parent pique. Teach your kids about your media rules, be consistent and create good long term digital habits.
Some really great tips here. Banning is definitely the wrong tac because kids will rebel against it and in todays ever increasing reliance on tablets for school work, it’s just not practical. Limiting screen time works well. We have started doing that with our 10-year old and we have seen a big difference.
Thank you 🙏 I feel if you ban something it becomes even more intriguing but finding that elusive balance is difficult - balancing school work with free tech time is all about parents talking ‘with’ not ‘at’ their kids too isn’t it? Sounds like you’ve found what works for your family Melanie 😃
