[quote=Anonymous]yesterday when 8-yo DS sneaks out of bed in the wee hours to watch his DVDs in the basement. i have every reason to believe this is not the first time even thought he never got caught. our 'rule' is no tv/screen during the week, and no more than 1-hr total in weekends, most weekends we went without turning on tv at all. at times i just rejected his request for some made-up excuse, and he usually didn't argue. so basically we don't have any rule, it's case-by-case, and when we do allow it it's more of an exception than norm. i did not punish him for the first offense. but now i'm thinking i should make it clear that i'll give him an hour every weekend and honor it and make it clear that's the rule, and expect him to honor it. then if he violates it he'll see consequences. he's 8 after all. what do you think?[/quote]
