Discussion Topic- Kids & Screen Time

My house has recently turned into WWII! Over screen time.......of all things. My husband and I have admittedly been relaxed in enforcing a limit to the children's screen time. Of course, they have taken advantage of this. It has gotten to the point that they are avoiding their household responsibilities. So we decided to implement our schedule again. Of course, we used the excuse of a new school year lol. Now we are seeing arguments, defiance, and tantrums. My children do not believe that too much screen time is a bad thing. I believe that it can be. My husband is in between on the matter. He's not worried about it unless it starts to interfere with other responsibilities. Then it becomes a problem. I guess really, I would just prefer that they spend more time reading (make sure to check out our other discussion on books vs television!).

So let's see what you guys think. Is there such thing as too much screen time? Should we be limiting it? Or are we being to strict? Maybe we need to relax a little? I can't wait to see what you guys think on this one!
