I’ll go first

About 2 hours on a good day. #moms #behonest #kidsoftiktok

8/17 Edited to

As a parent, I completely relate to the challenge of balancing screen time during the summer months. With longer days and more free time, it’s tempting for kids to spend hours in front of the TV or tablet. I found that about two hours of TV on a good day is a reasonable limit—not too much to interfere with other activities but enough for kids to unwind. To make the most of summer while managing screen time, I encourage incorporating outdoor play, reading, or creative projects alongside limited TV viewing. It also helps to have open discussions with kids about why we limit screen time, emphasizing the importance of staying active and socializing. Many parents in online communities like #moms and #kidsoftiktok share similar struggles, and it’s comforting to see that honest conversations about screen time help us find balance. Being honest about how much TV our children watch allows us to set realistic goals and create healthier habits without feeling guilty. Overall, while TV can be a good way to keep kids entertained, moderation is key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle during summer breaks.

Best color? I’ll go first.

Best color on an iPhone yet? I didn’t think I’d like desert titanium as I’m not really a gold guy, but I think it looks pretty good. With a case on it would look fine. I like the black probably the most but they didn’t go satin black, just ever so slightly darker, so I’m going to try a new color
