[quote=Anonymous]Let him organize 3 fun activities a week that they buy into (hikes/tubing/croquet/badminton/catching lightening bugs, etc). That way, they are doing what he thinks is healthy/productive and being part of the solution. If they are watching TV all day, then maybe you are just phoning things in. Yes, let rules lighten up a little, BUT you have to model a varied way to fill the day. Some TV (with limits) but also.... introduce exercise/reading/virtual travel adventures/sports/splashing in streams/learning new computer programs, etc. My friend (who is a very impressive mom who works full time outside the home) teamed up with her husband to plan "camps" of their kids choosing this summer. Those were short weeks with a focus. The kids chose the topics and the parents have to come up with activities (all within their immediate family mind you). It could be fun maybe...but you have to model positive coping to your kids.[/quote]
