Six ways to cut down your kids’ screen time without any arguments – and parents will need to change their attitude too

MANY parents don’t even know where to begin when it comes to getting their kids to spend less time staring at a screen.

Whether it’s social media, online games or TV – it all adds up and can be very addictive.

That’s why Dr Nihara Krause, a consultant clinical psychologist and founder of stem4, has commented on the issue parents face.

“Inevitably, too much engagement on screens may lead to parents worrying about what their child or young person might be exposed to,” she told MyLondon.

“There may be difficulty in gauging how screen time might be affecting children and young people, a lack of balance in terms of other activities, and a general feeling of not being in control.”

She spoke to o three mums and a dad, with kids between 12 and 17 years old and has shared some of their best tips for cutting down screen time without causing an argument.

UNDERSTAND THEIR WORLD

One parent opted for the ‘if you can’t beat them, join them’ approach, and ended up gaining a much deeper understanding of their kids’ online world.

The parent explained: “I felt like if I couldn’t beat them, I would join them, and once I really understood what the draw was, I could then help them to learn to spend their time wisely.”

USE PARENTAL CONTROLS

According to the parenting pro, some parents managed to cut screen time with screen time controls, but noted that they involved their child when setting them and reviewed them often.

HAVE ALTERNATIVES

Instead of expecting your kids to go cold turkey, the parenting pro revealed that one parents “felt they had to compete with limiting screen time by offering something extra and exciting.”

This took a bit of arrangement to begin with but “they felt it contributed to enhanced communication and fun family activities.”

NEGOTIATE WITH YOUR KIDS

Discussions about screen time should involve your kids, Dr Krause explained.

“Set up collaboratively, based on the age of the child or young person or their vulnerabilities, structured use schedules. Monitor, negotiate and collaborate,” she said.

NO SCREENS IN BEDROOMS AT NIGHT

Some parents found success with charging phones downstairs at night.

“This isn’t just about helping them relax before sleep, it’s also preventing that ‘must check my phone’ feeling as soon as they wake up,” she noted.

CHANGE YOUR OWN ATTITUDE

Your own reaction is important when it comes to this topic, the pro notesd.

She suggested altering your own reaction to help get “perspective” and decide what does and doesn’t matter in the long run.

HEALTH RISKS OF SCREEN TIME

THE screens of our phones, TVs and computers improve our lives in many ways, but there can be too much of a good thing. Science now shows Britain's technology obsession is damaging our health.

Most of the harm is because screen time is sedentary, meaning we barely move our bodies when we are watching or scrolling.

Spending too long sat still eventually leads to weight gain and obesity, which are the driving millions of Brits into health problems including type 2 diabetes, heart diseases, cancer and dementia.

Here are half a dozen studies that show screen time can damage our health at any age:

  • Children who spend too much time watching iPads and TVs at higher risk of mental health problems
  • Tots learn fewer words if they are glued to a screen
  • Kids at risk of type 2 diabetes if they watch too much TV
  • Couch potatoes double their risk of dying young
  • Five hours per day on social media trebles adults’ depression risk
  • Smartphone addiction keeps a third of us awake at night

Чим небезпечна тривала робота двигуна на холостих обертах: водії мають знати

Сучасні автомобілі не призначені для тривалої роботи на холостому ходу, чому багато виробників не рекомендують довго прогрівати мотор перед поїздкою. Проблема криється в конструктивних особливостях сучасних двигунів внутрішнього згоряння (ДВЗ), які не завжди отримують достатню кількість мастила на низьких обертах. Сучасні двигуни вирізняються складною системою циркуляції масла. На холостому ходу мастило недостатньо ефективно надходить у […]

Liam Cahill hails Tipperary after dominant win over Galway to start league campaign

LIAM CAHILL says Tipperary’s road to redemption starts now after blowing Galway away at Pearse Stadium. 

The Premier sizzled in Salthill as debutant Dylan Walsh fired 1-3 and goals from Darragh McCarthy’s penalty and Geaóid O’Connor completed the rout.

Walsh dazzled in Cahill’s attack as 10 different players scored – and they were a class apart from the Tribesmen

Tipp endured a horror 2024 as they failed to win a championship game and finished bottom of the round-robin Munster SHC

Cahill admits patience is still needed ahead of their round 2 clash with Wexford this weekend – but beamed at their dream start to the season. 

He said: “It’s building blocks. There’ll be ups and downs in this campaign. I think the knowledgeable people that know the hurling landscape in Tipperary and know what’s going on will understand that. 

“We will meet bumps in the road that will create difficulty but it’s about patience now as well and I know that’s not going to cut much slack with the impatient, less knowledgeable Tipperary hurling folk that are out there. 

“But as I said, I’m very, very clear on where this needs to go and today is just the start of it really.

“It would be no secret that we would have been very disappointed with the level of our fitness and our ability to see out games last year. 

“A lot of what you saw today you would have seen for 45 minutes, 50 minutes last year but unfortunately Championship Hurling has played over 70 minutes and probably didn’t get it right. 

“Probably, I’m holding my hands up, we didn’t get it right in that regard and I think we’re on the road to getting it right this year to have us that little bit more consistent and seeing out games better.”

Galway struggled to cope with Tipp’s desire and intensity as skipper Ronan Maher pulled the strings at centre back and Craig Morgan lorded the middle, firing 0-2. 

Michéal Donoghue’s return as Tribes boss saw him name four debutants in his team as Sean Murphy, Michael Garvey, Rory Burke and Oisín Lohan all made their senior bows.

Despite the poor playing surface, Tipp made hay with the first half wind and led 1-13 to 0-9. 

McCarthy’s penalty just 11 minutes in set the tone when Murphy fouled Walsh and the Toomevara man made no mistake. 

Tipp killed Galway with their short puck-outs and efficiency in moving the ball with pace. They hunted at packs as the hosts conceded cheap frees for McCarthy to tap over to stretch their lead. 

Captain Conor Whelan always looked dangerous in Donoghue’s attack but was often starved of ball. 

They failed to deal with a loose ball as O’Connor lashed in their second goal 10 minutes after the restart and the game was all but over at 2-16 to 0-11. 

Just six minutes later, Maher’s long range pass was collected by Walsh who left Murphy for dead to send Tipp 16 points up. 

Galway fired late consolation goals thanks to John Fleming and Declan McLoughlin but there was no chance of a comeback such was Tipp’s dominance. 

And Cahill issued a rallying cry to their supporters ahead of Wexford’s visit to Thurles on Sunday. 

He said: “We understand that we have to show the traits of what we showed today to let people know that we’re competing hard. 

“All I can say is that we are really trying hard behind the scenes, we really are. I mentioned bravery there earlier about the direction we’re going and the change we have to make. 

“I’d ask the Tipp supporters to be brave as well and come out and support them. There’s not much bravery in going up to Croke Park every year over the last decade for semi-finals and All-Irelands and all that. 

“They’re easy things to do and I think regardless whether people believe in Liam Cahill and his coaching team or his coaching philosophy, these players will be around long after I’m gone. 

“They’re the catalyst to everything that gives us the joy that is being a Tipperary supporter so get in behind them, support them and they’ll respond, that I’m sure of.”

And Galway boss Donoghue stressed that patience is needed during his second spell as boss as a host of new faces filter into the team.

He said: “We know we have to work, we have total belief in the squad that’s there and confidence that they will grow. But it’s going to take time, we’re not naive to that. 

“It’s not just three or four weeks and ‘hey, presto.’ That’s not the way it works. I think it was really evident obviously against a well-seasoned team, well-coached team. 

“When we got turned over, they punished us. So big learning, but that’s part and parcel of it.”

Love Island in fakery row as fans convinced Ronnie and Harriett NEVER split  and have secret gameplan

LOVE Island is in a new fakery row as fans are convinced that Ronnie and Harriett NEVER split.

Viewers reckon that Harriett Blackmore and Ronnie Vint have got a secret gameplan, with the pair having set their sights on winning £50,000.

Fans think the couple “never split up” and have entered the All Stars villa with the sole purpose of rekindling their romance on television so they can win the show and take home the prize money.

The popular pair shot to fame last summer when they starred in the summer series of the hit reality-dating show.

Winning each other’s hearts, and the hearts of the nation, Harriett and Ronnie left the villa together but they split just weeks later after he was accused of cheating.

And now that the former couple are back in each other’s lives after both signing up for Love Island: All Stars, fans think something fishy is going on.

In tonight’s episode, the former couple chatted about possibly rekindling their romance.

Ronnie said that Harriett has “always been the one” and expressed how much he wants to make her his girlfriend in the future.

“Ronnie and Harriett are playing this so well, they clearly never split up. #LoveIsland,” penned one person.

Another added: “Tbh ronnie and Harriet just came to scam us of 50k tbh #LoveIsland.”

“I’m not buying Ronnie’s sudden realisation of love for Harriet. They either planned this or he’s seen a potential win with Harriet,” penned a third.

SCAMMING VIEWERS?

A fourth said: “harriet and Ronnie have just come to scam you guys.”

While a fifth penned: “harriett and ronnie are the biggest scammers actually this is so bad.”

This comes after we revealed that Ronnie secretly snogged Harriett BEFORE they both entered the All Stars villa.

A source said: “Ronnie was desperate to win Harriett back just weeks ago after they shared a secret snog at a celeb-packed party.

“He has always felt there was unfinished business between them and he became fixated on finally making her his girlfriend.

Who are the 2025 Love Island All Stars couples so far?

Throughout the series the couples will chop and change as each recoupling happens

“Despite their break-up, they never fully cut each other off and were texting daily in the lead-up to Christmas.

“He boasted to pals about how smitten he was so it’s no wonder he’s now seemingly got a one-track mind on getting back with Harriett now she’s made her villa entrance.”
