Hey fellow zombie-moms, my two toddlers apparently run on solar power, because the second they watch anything on my phone, they turn into tiny, wide-eyed night owls. But here’s the magic trick, if I actually drag my exhausted self outside and let them sprint in circles like manic little cheetahs? Poof. They crash harder than my WiFi during a work call. I limit their screen time for an hour or 2 every day.
Anyone else notice this? Are screens secretly pumping them full of invisible espresso, or is physical play just the universe’s way of bribing us with early bedtimes?
