Mine are 5 and 3 and from what I gather from other parents, I have the most draconian rules of them all ๐Ÿ˜…. My kids watch very little TV...only a little before bed. They can start playing on their tablets for a bit before that, but they only have educational games (G-Compris and Khan Academy Kids, etc.) and a few other FOSS ones. I've tried teaching them to use a controller to play some SNES/N64 games on my Retropie with no luck...but according to my son's SK teacher, that's not such a bad thing. Just trying to avoid them turning into tech zombies as much as I can...they're pretty much living as close to the 90s upbringing I had as possible haha
