How Much Screen Time Do Your Kids Get?!?

Question by SnapIt!!: How much screen time do your kids get?!?
My little son (4 years old) graduated from PreK today and I’m thinking of making some house changes. My son has been bullied and has bullied and has shown alot of aggressiveness and anger, so I got rid of his game system and handhelds to try to spend quality time with him. How much do your kids get of screen time (including hand held time) and for those of you parents who are screen free, what activities do you do that the whole family can enjoy. What do you do after school, on the weekends, summer break?!

Answer by Angel
Well, i babysit children when they get out of school, and everytime they dont have school, i also take care of my niece daily, i watch five kids, from ages 2-8, who arent aloud to watch tv at all. So we always go to the park, also just go outside and chalk, blow bubbles, jumprope, we play basketball, and hopscotch, also foursquare, and other crazy activities they come up with like tag, hide n go seek, they also have a trampoline, so we have alot of things to keep us occupied outside, our routine is snack and homework at the same time, if you dont do your homework you dont get to play. Now when it gets dark we go in and have dinner, then we do things such as color, we play dress up, board games that involve couting or reading like monoply or games with reading, we also do read, and they tell me the best part of there day and we also decide what were gonna do the next day, and the child who did something polite or shared, etc. Gets to pick what we’ll do the next day, sometimes, we paint, ride bikes, or even go swimming, theres so much to do with kids, there really is.

But goodluck(:
