Five questions
No lecture, no guilt. Just five calm questions that help you make the call that fits your child and your day. Most parents find they already know the answers, they just needed the questions.
The real risk is what screens crowd out: sleep, movement, real play, and the boredom that turns into ideas. A show after a day full of those is very different from one that took their place.
A clear end agreed up front, a number of minutes or the end of one thing, turns the hardest moment, switching off, into a plan you both already made.
Reaching for a screen out of a real want is fine. Reaching for it out of habit, every gap filled, is the pattern worth gently noticing together.
Not every minute, but if the answer is a flat no, that is useful information about the app, not about you.
A calm bridge back to the room, a snack, a chat, a job to do, makes the difference between a screen that settles a child and one that leaves them wired.
