When we put time limits or parental controls on screens, we’re already admitting that something about them isn’t good for kids. We don’t put time limits on kids riding their bikes or reading books, and we don’t install parental controls on their Legos or board games. We don’t have to. Parents don’t feel like they have a choice with screens. You feel forced to choose between one bad experience and another slightly less bad experience. Between screens unleashed with all their adverse effects or screens with limits and controls you have to police constantly. But what if there is another way?
