Screens get blamed for a lot. But if you've ever handed your child a tablet just to get five minutes of quiet in an otherwise chaotic day, you already know it's not that simple.
For many children on the spectrum, a tablet isn't a crutch. In fact, it is often one of the few things that feels predictable and calming when everything else feels like too much.
So the real question isn't "should I allow screens." It's "what's actually happening on them, and around them."
Here's what we mean: interactive content that involves back and forth builds very different skills than passive scrolling. And sitting with your child for even five minutes, narrating what's happening, asking a question, pointing something out, turns a solo screen moment into a shared one. That small shift matters more than the number of minutes on the clock.
The goal was never zero screen time. It's intentional screen time, the kind that works with your child and not against them.
Not sure if your child's screen habits are helping or hurting? Let's find out together.
