and go back to a cable box
Daughter of turns 6 in May She’s been a master of the AppleTv remote for a bit now She hijacks whatever I’m watching or will go upstairs and find her own thing. She’s not on anything bad yet, but we don’t want to encourage this
Cable eliminates the instant gratification of tuning to exactly what you want Commercials teach patience to wait for the show to return The remote is too complicated for a 6 yr old (added bonus, MIL also can’t use it) Streaming prices continue to go up
Smart TVs are attempting to make my kids dumb (1/2 joke, I know we are in control of what they do)
Although this post sounds like it, we actually don’t just sit around and watch TV all day

In the early years of my parenting I did not allow screen

time or any tv. My oldest was only entertained by a device in moments where I really needed her to be mesmerized and quiet (plane trips, long car rides). I didn't allow her to watch ANY TV until she was two (this made for long days when I was parenting solo). She's both bright and an exceptional student.
Kid #2 blew my rules out of the water. He's been glued to the boob toob since he was toddling. Loved him some paw patrol. At 6 he's seen all the Marvel movies. He has his own ipad is allowed filtered free reign, can FB messenger his friends. Our hopes weren't high with him, but turns out he might be smarter than his big sis. I fully expect him to be dancing naked on the table at the frat house eventually.
This is the world we live in it, it's not going away and now I fully believe that sheltering kids from it only makes the technology more addictive.
My parents were super strict when I was growing up, and I don't think it benefited my transition to adulthood.
