Screen time at 18 months - your real rules?
jolly-otter · 1/27/2026
Officially WHO says no screens under 2. Practically? With travel, sickness, dinner being cooked? What do you actually do?

About 30 min/day on average. Maybe more on travel days. Honest.
Quality matters more than quantity I think. Sat with them, talking about what they see is different to alone-time.
Don't beat yourself up. Cooking dinner with a clingy toddler is impossible otherwise.
Zero until 2 was our rule. Held til 2.5 then lost the battle to grandparents.
Ms Rachel was our gateway drug. No regrets.
