We have "family film nights". We all have dinner together, then get out some beanbags, on the floor. We then all watch a film together, cuddled up on the beanbags.

The films are ones our daughter hasn't seen, and can often push her boundaries. E.g. we watched "Monsters Inc" together. She was a little bit scared, but with mummy and daddy there, she loved it.

It's definitely one for building memories together. We are too often distracted, even when present. Having dedicated family time makes a huge difference.

Oh, and she also doesn't watch much paw patrol, even when around friends. Apparently "Daddy doesn't like it" is quite enough to put her off it. A classic "respect over fear" situational win for me.

On a side note. The screen time correlation goes away, when you correct for the child's parenting and lifestyle situation. It's not "screens are bad" but that kids in worse situations watch more TV, etc. The causation is backwards.
