When you were a kid, did you camp out on the couch with your siblings and fight over what show you’d watch on the family TV?

Today, your child(ren) have fewer limits when it comes to controlling a screen. They can watch many at once, and carry them wherever they go.📱💻

As amazing as the technology is, your child can benefit from less time with it.

Here are some tips on screen time with babies and toddlers📺;

👼🏽 Under 18months, it is best to have no screen time(if possible). Video chatting is fine.

👼🏽 18-24 months, limited screen time (15-30mins) is fine for them.

👼🏽 2-5years, screen time should be limited to 1 hour per day. Keep content high-quality and educational.

👼🏽 Model appropriate screen time behavoiur and limit your own screen time usage.

👼🏽 Remove or shut off screens 2 hours prior bedtime to encourage healthy sleep habits.

Don't worry if your little one's screen time doesn't match with the ideal one.
Real life isn't always ideal, after all🤷🏼‍♀️🤭 but it's better to aim for a better screen time.

Toddlers are more famous for leaving a path of destruction wherever they go than for helping tidy the house.

However, the truth is that they love to help, and if given the tools and opportunity, will enthusiastically help you with all kinds of chores.

Some of these chores are;

📌 Assisting with laundry.

📌 Washing fruits and vegetables when cooking

📌 Helping to put away toys and books.

📌 Cleaning up messes after playtime or eating time with the right tools (broom, kitchen napkin, tissues etc)

📌 Helping to put groceries away (in the right shelves)

📌 Setting and clearing the table after dining

📌 Making the bed together.

Children can learn a lot from doing household chores in terms of skills, competency, responsibility and drive for teamwork within and outside the family.
