Vee, Jae and El are generally occupied with structured and free choice screen-free activities throughout the day and have very little screen time.
However these few days, Jae (7y10m) has been on my laptop at 7+ am for 1 hour to set test papers!
Previously, he has been copying or making up questions for his siblings to do. Then finally he asked to borrow my laptop for typing. Since it’s a productive (rather than consumptive) use, I’m happy to do so.
I set up a user account with these parental controls:
- applications and websites that he can access
- maximum usage duration (1 hour per day for now)
- access time periods (e.g. 7 am – 8 pm. Otherwise this early bird would wake up at 6+ am to work!)
Happy producing with tech!
