Why "screen time" limits alone no longer capture what's actually happening in a kid's digital life — and what to track instead.
Screen time limits were built for a world of passive scrolling and video watching — they weren't designed for AI systems that respond, remember, and hold something closer to a relationship. This guide explains why the old framework falls short and what to pay attention to instead.
Inside: understanding why AI interaction is different from passive screen use, what to actually monitor beyond raw hours, adjusting household rules to reflect the AI-specific risks and benefits, and staying current as this is an area that's still actively changing. A conceptual closing guide that ties the rest of this series together.
