Hi,
I wondered how much tv/video games you let your kids play? This has been an ongoing battle in my house and from what I gather, in many households with this generation of kids. When I was younger, I played outside doing whatever, just finding things to do or played inside w/board games, dolls, dress up, again.. just finding something to do. Sure, we watched a little tv but not much and really had no major desire to watch much tv. It''s so different w/kids today. I try different methods of saying only x amount of tv/day or only x shows/day but it''s hard to find the balance and stick w/it.
So, what do you do? Also, if you don''t mind saying, how old is your child? My son is 13 and thinks there''s *nothing* to do unless it involves electricity or basketball. Give me a break!
Thanks (and just a fyi, I''m not on here daily so if I don''t respond right away, it just means I haven''t had a chance to get back to PS... definitely NOT that I don''t appreciate your responses).
