Key takeaway: no one knows how to parent, so dont follow my advice. My opinion on screen time: its 2024, every job ive ever had requires all day screen time, and they might as well get comfy with it. That said, I do want them to limit their exposure while theyre developing their brains, and theres so much other than tv to explore and learn. Basically, I want to limit things a bit, ideally in a way thay normalizes electronics as a pwrt of daily life, but provides even more fun alternatives. All the smart plugs I looked at had some kind of button to turn them on and off which defeats the purpose, so this is a little extra. Im sure all of these perspectives are wrong and this is horrible advice, so you are 100% able to ignore it. #theforgehouse #pa #parenting #screentime #oldhouse #ouroldhouse #dadlife #dadjokes #housetour #playroom #shelly #smarthome #smartrelay
