Yes, that’s okay. Parenting is demanding, and rest matters. Just aim for balance — try to also include time outdoors or in movement-based play first, before screen time. And if possible, offer something active afterward too. Weekend screen time won’t undo everything if your weekday rhythm supports development through real-world experiences.
