Researchers, pediatricians, psychologists, educators and members of the federal legislature all agree: parents should limit childrens screen time.
And its not that parents disagree. Most of us would be happy to put in place stricter limits on our kids screen use, provided that were given a professional child distractor to subdue our children every time we need to prepare food, clean up a sticky mess, do laundry, respond to an email, take a phone call, speak to another human, take any mode of transit or use the bathroom.
Without such help forthcoming, many parents find themselves trapped in an endless cycle of promising to enforce screen time limits, exceeding those limits and then feeling guilty about it.
Here, the witty parents of X (formerly Twitter) describe the process in hilarious detail.
