Too much TV over Summertime - What to do?

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Set limits! We have a limit in our house - no more than 1.5-2hrs per day….so when you come in to turn off the television (enforcing boundary), there is no argument!

At the same time, offer alternatives - computer, reading, playing, coloring, drawing, cards, games, etc. Encourage them to use their imagination. At age 6, my youngster is becoming fluent at checkers, chess and cards….they just need the introduction.
