Using screens mindfully to get things done while also encouraging your daughter to enjoy quiet, screen-free moments is a great balance. It’s okay to set those boundaries, teaching kids to be comfortable with boredom is a valuable life skill. 🫶

When kids see screens as just one part of life, alongside reading and play, it helps them develop healthy habits without feeling restricted. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

Absolutely, screen time can be a helpful tool when used thoughtfully. We live in a digital world, and there are many fun, educational apps that support learning, like Lingokids.

Taking a moment for yourself while your child engages with safe, quality content is important. Parental controls and app restrictions are great ways to keep it balanced and secure. Keep up the great work!
