How do I actually enforce screen time limits?
I tell my 7 year old 30 minutes of gaming on weekends but he finds every excuse to sneak extra time. Says he needs to finish a level, says his friends are all still playing, the whole thing. My wife is way more strict than me so we're not on the same page either. How do you guys actually make the limits stick without becoming the bad guy all the time? What time management tools actually work?
What's worked for us is making the 30 minutes something he has to earn during the week with good behavior or chores. Not giving it as a default right. Changed the whole dynamic when it became a privilege.
