Feeling useless

You need to cut yourself some slack.. you’re sick. Even if you weren’t watching disney movies on Sunday is not damaging. don’t think screen time is particularly amazing but I think quite a lot of people rely on it heavily due to no choice.

You are ill! Use anything you need to until you get better and are back on full power, even if that is just watching films/TV all day. Focus on getting better rather than doing anything too physically stressful that will prolong your illness.

Make sure they don't sit too close to the screen itself and then you are fine. If you did screens all day every day all year, then I would be questioning why. But when ill and needed for a couple of days until you are on the mend, go for it.

You could try mixing in some quiet activities e.g. drawing, just letting them play with toys on the floor while you lie on the sofa and observe, reading if they will pay attention long enough.
