Encourage Open Communication and Flexibility
Ongoing, honest conversations about screen time are essential for building trust and adapting to your child’s needs as they grow. Regularly check in to discuss what’s working, what’s challenging, and how everyone feels about the current limits.
Be open to revising rules if circumstances change, such as school projects or special occasions, to show understanding and support. Address any concerns together and look for solutions as a family. This approach fosters cooperation and ensures screen time rules remain relevant and fair. For guidance on family communication, visit Verywell Family: Improve Family Communication.
