Has the new government rules on screen time stressed anyone else out?

Gov can shove it up their ass. Don’t know crap, especially when running the country shit. He’s YOUR child if you want him to watch something to de stress then do that don’t listen to what they say. Your child you do what you want not what other people advise. My little boy who’s 6 months watches dancing fruits, Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, ms Rachel and it helps me get stuff done around the house and I’m gonna stick to it as it helps me and helps him as calms him down too.

Whats this? And what country?

Pretty much agree with Louise here.
My 4 yr old is full on, the only way I can get him to sit still and chill out or for me to get anything done is by popping something on for him on tv.

I myself get overwhelmed and overstimulated really easily at the moment with my 9month old being super clingy and it’s for my sanity on non-preschool days!

No I’ll do what helps me 😅 some days we watch more than others but it’s just me and if I need anything done and ms Rachel doesn’t mind giving a helping hand I’m not going to worry 😅

Remember it's not rules, it's guidelines 🫶🏻 personally I do limit screen time (most of the time) and there's only a few different, educational/lower stimulating things we watch at the moment, plus one of us is always watching it with her and we usually interact through it. That being said, some days are ROUGH and the tv ends up on for most of the day 🫠 and I absolutely do not judge or shame any person that needs to use screen time for their sanity, sometimes you have to do what you have to do! Raising kids is HARD and if what you're doing is working for you and your family, fuck what anyone else has to say about it 🫶🏻

I feel like the government should focus a little more on all the violent and sexual crime happening over there instead of mothers trying to survive entertain their kids

TV time is fine, you can see and monitor what they're watching, tablet and phone...are you observing everything they're putting on?
I have no issues with my son watching TV, he'll often turn it off and want to play and we spend lots of time walking and outside so 🤷🏼‍♀️

I could be wrong because I live in the US but based on what I was reading, they are just giving a suggestion/guidance. They don’t know your situation and you should do whatever you feel is best for your child. I have a 15 month old and some nights he will get extremely clingy or just very worked up when I’m trying to make dinner and I’ll have to put a video on the TV for him for about 20 minutes. I don’t love having to do it, but he will be okay if he watches some TV sometimes.

we use screen time as a tool in my house! strictly educational children’s television, or my daughter also likes to watch nature documentaries. when i NEED to do something (switch/fold laundry, do dishes, cook, or even just have a second to BREATHE), i put something on for no longer than 30 mins. YOU are your baby’s mom. YOU know what is best for YOU and YOUR child. the government is not raising your baby, YOU are. so if you feel like it’s ok, do you girl!!

Agree with we are all just surviving out here so do what you got to do.

Absolutely not.
All children are different and respond differently to different things. The term screen time is different as well.
There’s one thing having low stimulating TV shows on for some of your day and there’s another thing having a young child watching overstimulating short form videos on a phone continuously throughout the day

The government should focus on making our country a better place for parents to bring their children up in. A place where both parents don’t have to work so much that they are absolutely exhausted and don’t make them feel guilty for sticking Bluey on for a little bit of down time for everyone!!!

Its guidance, not rules
You do whatever works for your family

Honestly we do similar. No TV or any screens throughout the day but then max 30 mins of Mr tumble or cbeebies house while I make his dinner or eat mine. Also have no village and partner works evenings. Totally get it. Id rather he had nursery rhymes keeping him happy and safe while I make his dinner than him crying the whole time.
Ive felt awful since the guidelines came out too though
