Re: What does 'regulating screen time' look like at your house?
I'm so glad someone here has Circle!!! I've read about it a lot but a personal review is so much better!
I have a child with odd, OCD, & add tendencies. For us, tight regulations actually increased his anxiety, quite a bit. I had to let him "overdose," so to speak, so that he now chooses to take a walk and be outside (most days) and moderate his usage. And this took awhile and it won't be the answer for everyone. There were long periods where my kids had no screen time at all except for a family movie night once a week.
Does he do well with clear expectations that never change? Mine doesn't, but many kids do.
Also, many devices have time limits that parents can set. Windows parental control makes it so a child account can only log on during set hours. (Although I don't know if Windows 10 has that, I haven't looked.) And our WiFi is on a timer.
