Screen Time Rules That Survive Real Life

Perfect screen rules break the first rainy Friday. Aim for clear, kind limits you can enforce without a fight every night.

Agree on device-free meals. Keep bedrooms quieter at night. Offer an alternative before you say no — a walk, a puzzle, a shared show with conversation after.

The goal is not zero screens. The goal is kids who can still get bored and still get along.
