[quote=Anonymous]How old are the kids? If under 10, I would just say "ok, iPad time is up, outside!" and sweep through the room gathering iPads and shoo all the children outside. If over 10, they are smart enough to see where you put the iPad down and collect it again and then hide better, but hopefully at least a few go play. If it's a way to keep the kids entertained, I'd MUCH rather they all watch a movie together on a tv, so say after dinner I'd offer that. But yes, I'd also prepare my kids that they wouldn't be on their iPads the entire time and explain how much screen time they can have and the movie plan. And then loosely enforce it. All the kids in our family have way more fun playing than on the screens, though sometimes they all look at Minecraft or something too. It's usually short lived and they move on because playing is more fun. Most of them are under 10 though, so I think it's easier to enforce and they are more open to "play time". [/quote]
