I’d say 5. If I turn it off and we do other stuff they don’t ask for it back on.

2-3. He's almost 8. No TV during the week except for Jeopardy/Wheel of Fortune and thats only if we have time. Only does video games at his dad's. So pretty limited. We've always found other things to do.

IF he asks on the weekends, I always say yes. ☺️

My 10 year old son is like a 1. He does watch YouTube for video game hints and stuff but very little tv. My daughter maybe a 3. She’s watching a lot because she’s recovering from surgery, but normally she doesnt watch much at all. Me on the other hand.

@abell girl, same. Luckily he doesn't know my dirty secret because I only watch when he goes to bed

2-3 for my 12 year old. now she’s a 10 for her phone/YouTube. She was probably a solid 7 when she was younger though and she has less options for entertainment

@patten out of curiosity, what does she watch on YouTube?  
by (3.6k points)
@mumbletypeg2604 people playing fortnite, makeup tutorials, craft tutorials, those annoying food challenges and oddly roller coaster reviews/rides lol

@patten  kids these days. My son is obsessed with people playing Minecraft and these teenagers that do like hide and seek challenges in their mansions

Me 0 lol, kids maybe a 3 or 4. Winter the tv is on more, spring- fall it may not be on but a few times a week. Electronics I'd say 6 for kids  . they'd prob be on 24/7 if I'd allow it, but i don't and they don't freak out or that would be a lot higher lol
