If you feel guilty about screentime but like the winding down educational aspect of it, why not encourage a half hour/hour of quiet reading time before lights out? Maybe take your kid to the library to select a bunch of books on interesting topics and there you go.

I mean, if they're gonna, that's the best choice (but also double-check their channels because there's a lot of pseudoscience masquerading as science channels).

Are they at least of an age where you can have an honest conversation about ensuring that their screen time is mitigated by offline activity? Can you get them hooked up with volunteer opportunities, extracurriculars, etc that play into their interests? e.g. if they're watching space channels, getting them into an astronomy club, or getting them to volunteer with a parks department or wilderness nonprofit if they're super into plants/birds/insects. Honestly, 30 years ago when I was a teen, if my parents had said "you need extracurriculars for your college applications, you love birds, here go volunteer with the local Audobon chapter" I'd have been over the moon. Doubly so if it had prevented me from going to art school instead lol.

Spoilers below.

What annoyed me about it is that it felt like a heavily contrived "problem". Logically, James knows that there's a lot of value to being a vet in a time when people still need to run their farms and produce food. Buuuuut he still thinks that being in the military is better. He'd have to train to do that, and there's no one to take his place as a vet back home, but oh well.

So the show puts him through training school as a pilot, which we see VERY briefly and then he gets sick and is discharged to go back to being a vet and we're supposed to feel sorry for his crew whom we've met for like ONE minute. And then the deaths of these very briefly introduced characters is used to further James' trauma and guilt over not being a pilot and "only" doing the unglamourous job of treating animals.

It’s all largely autobiographical, so you’d have to go back to the author’s reasons for enlisting. He enlisted fairly late (1942), and only after the owner of the practice he worked for returned from the war. He probably felt that the practice could get by with the owner and that it was his turn to help the war effort.

Maybe they both thought it would look bad if the vet’s was well staffed and neither of them were currently enlisted.

(None of this is based on the contents of the books. It’s been 40 years since I read them.)

Adult-me happily agrees with kid-me that the concept of “screen time” is bullshit. A good book, a good show, and a good game are much alike.

[(Anonymous)]

Screen time before bed is a horrible habit for anyone just because the screens have a physical effect on you and your sleep cycle. It doesn't really matter about content (to a degree), it's the type of screen that is the problem. But really everyone seems to do it so it's one of those "yeah I know it's not great but oh well" things. We adapt and move on.

There's also a degree of how "bad" it is on age. Little kids like elementary school and below is pretty bad, but once you get to teenagerhood then I don't think it's as bad. Because honestly the "healthy sleep habits" training phase is gone and at that point you're just happy if they have any sleep routines and watch relatively "good" content and not going down radfem or toxic rabbit holes.

Idk. Raising kids is so hard these days because there are way more "bad" things to try and steer around and you as a parent just have to choose the path that works for you and your family. If it isn't causing problems (lack of good sleep, etc) then throw that guilt away and go with the status quo.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah no. Just because you feel the same doesn't mean they effect your body the same way.
