[quote=Anonymous]Agree with the post about set TV times. Also, if your kids lived without much TV for a while, I am sure they have the skills to entertain themselves and you just have to enforce boundaries. If they don't, because you were entertaining them at other times, then its time to work on those skills. Make sure you have stuff they like to play with (big stack of books from the library for the readers, empty cardboard boxes for the builders, misc art supplies for the artistic ones) and then point to that. Its OK to say "Mom is busy right now" or "Mom is doing something she likes to do, she will do something you like to do later." Go play with _.[/quote]
