iPad usage

[Wadingthroughshit]

Hi everyone.
I’m on my own with two children, 7 and 3, and studying a Masters (writing thesis now).

My 7 year old gets up in the morning, takes his tablet down stairs and is on it for about an hour. If my youngest and I get up just after my eldest, he gets in a stress because he knows I’m going to ask him to turn it off soonish. There is an iPad battle nearly every morning.

I wondered how much usage other parents allow? I was thinking I’d cut it down to 30 minutes in the morning and 30 at night ? He’s not allowed it when he gets home just now and rarely asks for it.

Many thanks !

Just removed the iPad from my DC and have seen a massive improvement in their behaviour. I was sick and tired of the constant arguments of who played on it when and who watched what on it that I just found it easier to remove it.
