Screen time screen time screen time

[Sambesi]

I wfh 3 days, kids (5&6) get home 3:30-4 from school, their grandparent collects them and brings them home. They then wash hands, get changed, have a snack and will watch tv for an
hour while I finish work and then get dinner sorted. They also have the same hour Thursday and Friday. At weekends they watch about 1.5 hours Saturday and 1.5 hours Sunday. They don’t have tablets, only tv, they generally watch whatever they want as long as it’s marked ‘U’ and only Netflix, BBC iPlayer etc under their kid account. They spend a lot of time outside, all weathers. Is this amount of screen time ok? Ideally I wouldn’t have any during the school week but husband works in the office a lot and I’m also battling several health conditions, can’t shake the tv time guilt for some reason

I think it’s fine. Some people may disagree, that’s up to them.
It certainly seems practical for your circumstances, so well done on making it work & really, please don’t feel guilty.

Definitely fine x

i think it's fine. Especially in the circumstances you're using it. Plus it's not near bedtime.

I say that as a parent who has no screen time Monday - Friday, because it has a massive negative impact on one of my children behaviour and ability to do anything else.

I think it's completely fine op, nothing to worry about.

I also think there's a huge difference between watching telly (on the big proper telly) and "screen time". Keep the tablets at bay for a long as you can imho.

It's fine their is worse
