Screens don’t have to be the enemy
A balanced take on tech time — what to embrace, what to watch, and how to keep learning apps actually useful.
- ✓Choose active over passive. Apps that ask your child to create, solve, or respond beat ones they just watch.
- ✓Set a shared end time. A visible timer avoids the fight that comes with a surprise “time’s up.”
- ✓Co-view when you can. Even five minutes of watching together opens the door to conversation.
- ✓Balance, not ban. Screens paired with reading, play, and rest cause far less friction than an all-or-nothing rule.
