I've had so many DMs about our decision to temporarily remove screen time that I thought I'd do this post on it! 📺⛔

So firstly, I'm not against screen time and I think, like with most topics, it's very much each to their own.

Sure in an ideal world of course our children wouldn't be on screens. But neither would we. And we also aren't living in an ideal world. We don't have a 24/7 village, we might be juggling multiple babies, trying to get some work done, or we might just deserve a break!

I think we don't need the extra pressure of others telling us how awful screen time is, as ultimately we live in a digital world.

But how we navigate that world is definitely a working process and something we always want to reasses!

For us personally, the balance was wrong!

So I love children's TV! It's taught Alf how to count to 100 (cheers Super Simple Songs), it's taught him the alphabet (cheers Bounce Patrol!), and it's allowed me to get some work done whilst I'm looking after a baby (cheers dancing fruit!).

The issue we found was that YouTube sent us to strange places. To Peppa pig (not the worst), and into weird shows with real life monkeys in children's clothes, and men's hands playing with toys, and weird russian families doing awful emoji songs. It happened so quickly and it's taken us a few months to really think about it and be like WTF.

To be honest, we had a new baby, the weather was awful, it settled Alf... I mean there's 1000 reasons you can look at retrospectively but we realised it was too much and too much rubbish! He could flick in and out of programs and he would watch something for 10 seconds or so and move on.

The more I researched, the more I want to try to switch up the habits. And definitely see if it improves alf's sleep - he's been 4:30/5:30 for the last few months and it's killing us - well Tommy who is on morning Alf duty! 💤

We're 3 days in, and so far so good. We watched Bluey for the first time tonight as a treat and he didn't demand we change it like usual. I loved bluey and it's definitely much slower.

Have you guys modified screen time? Did you notice a behaviour? And what 'slow programs' do you recommend? 🙏📺❤️
