My eldest is 5, and for the most part (tonight aside) she’s pretty good at going to sleep. All of her cousins who are younger have a small TV in their room, or are allowed a tablet whilst going to bed.

I personally think she’s too young. I was 10-11 when I first got a TV in my room, and that was restricted to 4 channels that really didn’t have much to engage an 11 year old at 8pm.

So yeah. Thoughts?

    I will never allow a TV in my kids’ rooms. They can use tablets, which have time limits, app restrictions, and automatic lock times 2 hours before bed. It’s still a bit of a struggle to keep limits but I think it provides a good balance.
