My kids are 7 and 9. We do unlimited screen time. There is some reasoning behind it: (1) they are both autistic and it helps them form language and some limited reading; (2) we need parenting breaks; (3) video games help with fine motor (an issue with one of the kids); and (4) we keep them focused on educational content. Probably not the best parenting out there but we are just trying to survive. ๐
