Love and Logic-What to do When Your Kid Won't Turn Off the Device
Hello. This is Dr. Charles Fay. Here's a special message from my eight-year-old son, Cody:
Computers, iPads, etc., are fun to use, but when is enough enough?
Many parents wonder how much time is enough. It's good to be able to get things fast and easy, but computers, iPads, etc., can be addictive. The reason these can be addictive are that they are fun, and you do not have to do anything. They will do all the work.
Here at Love and Logic we believe that devices should only be used for a few minutes. I believe that thirty minutes is enough for a day.
One parent asked me, "What do you do if you ask the kid to get off of the device and they say no?"
I said to just tell the kid to please shut down the device. If they say "no" just keep calm and say, "I'm going to have to do something about this. We will talk about it later." Maybe you take the device away from the kid when the kid is sleeping. Maybe you take it away until the child shows more respect to you.
