Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 095: Anya Kamenetz Talks About Her Book "The Art of Screen Time" · 13 Feb 2018 podcast

We have one day a week where she can kind of go nuts and watch pretty much whatever she wants.

I mean, we do, you know, even on that day, you know, she has to have a balance with other activities.

She has to eat, she has to play outside, you know, eat her breakfast before she sits down to watch.

And what's been beautiful as I've seen it evolve with her is that there's a lot of buy-in with her on that policy.

So, you know, even if she has a play date over or she's at a friend's house,

Or they have different rules.

She kind of has internalized the idea that screens are for certain times and places and they're not for other times.

And it's helped her, I think, on other times of the week where she's bored or she would have that feeling of discomfort that would cause us to turn to a screen.

And she's able to manage it and work on different things instead.

And she's become a big reader over the last few years.

So that's been great.

I mean, the iPad has come in in a slightly different way.

We introduced it with passes.

So she was a little bit older, around age four, and there's different kinds of, you know, apps that are approved by us.

And then she has three 20-minute passes a week, which she can use for, you know, and it's her decision of when to use them, basically.

And so that's been really helpful as well because it's a little bit of an older kid approach where instead of us just dictating yes or no,

She gets to think about, well, is it something I want to do now?

I may not get to do it later.

And then we do also have loopholes for car rides and sick days and vacations, which are both pretty, all pretty clear to us.

So, yeah, so that's been the policy for now.
