You Should Never Let Your Child Have Screen Time During This Key Moment

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING For overwhelmed parents, there’s often a gulf between screen time goals and screen time reality. “Children with behavioral issues or challenging temperaments are more likely to elicit the use of digital pacifiers, as parents may struggle to manage their frequent tantrums,” Konok said. Klein emphasized that this can be a lengthy, uneven process: “It takes a long time to fully learn to manage emotions, and even when a child is better at it, when they are tired, overwhelmed, stressed, worried they will need more help.” Parents teach kids how to recognize their emotions by labeling them, saying things like, “You are so mad right now!” or “That puzzle piece doesn’t fit, how frustrating,” Klein explained. Rather than seeing a tantrum as evidence that a child is purposefully being difficult, she said, parents should view their child’s behavior as an indication that they need help handling big emotions. “It is hard to witness and help a child through a tantrum, but the brain and body benefit from the repetition and practice,” Klein said.
