How much screen-time for my boys?

12 and 8 yrs old.

What do you allow in the week/weekend for computer games?

I've relaxed a bit but would be interested in what others allow?

Thanks

School week - they can half an hour tv of their choice (so 1hour between 2) and half an hour computer [this is dependant on behaviour]

Thanks Grab- I've tended to go for an hour computer then TV on top during school week - obviously behaviour dependent though as you say!

Anyone else?

45 mins computer (if has earned enough stickers) then prog in morning before school (20 mins ish) then sometimes another 1 or 2 20 mins progs in evening - but DS doesn't always have some in evening.

My DD (11) and DS (8) get no screen time from Monday morning until Friday when they get home from school.

Then it's generally a couple of hours on Saturday & Sunday but they only usually only play iPad games as we don't have any games consoles and neither of them are interested in watching tv.

Obviously if they have homework to do on the computer, they're allowed to do this during the week.

To be honest they're really not that bothered about the lack of screen time during the week as they find loads of things to fill in their evenings.
