[quote=Anonymous]Over a long long period of time I hope to teach my kids “Work before play.” Now there’s always a little bit of rest-play-work in balance .. However, when you’re a simple middle schooler or ES kid, math homework or cleaning your room —YES—should come before 2 hours of sitting in front of a screen. And knowing my kids, once the screen comes on, there’s not a lot of bouncing back into responsibility. I remember when I was a kid watching afternoon shows, about 5:00 I’d get my backpack out and do HW. These days, we live in a different world. Screens never run out of stuff. The kids content never ends. My MSer doesn’t even get home until 4:45. How do I teach work before play? What’s effective? How do you balance rest / play / responsibility? Also I will add things I’ve tried, somewhat unsuccessfully, in a second post….[/quote]
