Tv in kids room

[Pumpkin5piced]

Ds 9 is asking for a tv. He watches it constantly in living room anyway so won’t really increase screen time, will just free up living room tv for others.
I’m worried about night times though. I won’t want him watching it at bed time but can see it being a battle.
What rules do others have around tv in bedrooms?

Also, is it possible to get one that can access Netflix but not youtube?

You really don’t know what sleep hygiene is *@Sparklingbrook*? It’s the habits surrounding sleep/bedtime. Bad things cause you to get suboptimal sleep and include watching screens before bed. Study after study has found that children and adults don’t sleep as well if they have watched screens before bed because of the blue light that they omit. None of this is whacky new science. It’s fact that we’ve known for a very long time.

I hear the expression all the time on here (and only ever on here), it's mentioned on every single 'tv in the bedroom' thread. I guess I don't know what it means because it's never been an issue in this household.

that was a nope from me at first, but now they have laptops and tablets. tv is irrelevant.

My nearly 14 year old still doesn’t have a TV in her room. She had ASD struggles to sleep so her room isn’t too cluttered and she has her own little desk space in another room for her laptop. No one in our house has a TV in their bedroom so it’s consistent for everyone. I had a TV in my room from 11 and was up late watching a lot of unsuitable stuff that was scary and unsettling.
