I do... but mostly restrict the kids to educational apps. That's what they like most these days anyway.
Do you give your kids more screentime when they're sick?

Yes, since it's the only thing that will get him to sit still and rest.

@wonderstruck: ditto!
Also when the kids are sick I can work from home so its nice to pop in a DVD so I can work!

Yep. E has HFM and was absolutely miserable on Saturday. We spent the bulk of his awake time cuddling on the couch under a blanket watching movies. I didn't even think twice about it!

We tried last week but she has no interest in the tv or sitting still even when sick.

Yes, but I still limit the time. But most times when my boys are sick they are still running around the house.

Yup. D just got over HFM and we watched more tv/movies in those 4 days then he has in his entire 15 months of life.

No, we don't do a lot of screentime and that doesn't change when she is sick. Maybe she will ask for it when she is older.

She's not huge into screen time, but I will let her watch an extra show if she's laying down and relaxing.

Yes. When LO is really sick, all she wants to do is sit in her chair (alone) and watch Baby Einstein. The last bad cold she had, I felt terrible for letting her...but it was the only thing that kept her content.

Yes. Though, she usually falls asleep soon after a show starts when she's sick.
