Now they've had 90 minutes of screen time.

And then I'll stop them and I'll say, okay, we're going to eat something and we're going to go to the playground.

And then I will ask you an hour from now whether we made the right choice.

And inevitably, what happens is they eat something, their mood improves, they go to the playground, they see their friends, they have a lot of fun.

And then I'll ask them, hey, do you want to play at the playground longer?

Do you want to go back to watching?

No, they like, no, we want to stay, we're having fun.

So I think a big thing that we really need to remember is that we do need to teach our kids, we have to prepare them for this world.

And really encouraging them to notice that the first hour that you watch is a lot of fun, but there's diminishing returns because that's literally what's happening in the brain.

We're sort of exhausting our dopamine stores.

So literally things are less enjoyable.

And really encouraging that noticing is the most important thing, I think, for parents to do with their kids.

Help your child understand the effects of the game.

And now we've reached a point where, you know, my kids don't even want to play or whatever first thing in the morning.

They'll ask a couple times throughout the day and sometimes will be indulgent.

And I think that's really important, too, is that your kids understand that you're not like being especially restrictive, that you're OK.

And the real goal is to have fun, to be healthy and really talk to them about that kind of stuff.

So what would you rather do?

Hey, let's try it.

Let's try playing a game for four hours at a stretch and see how we feel.
