[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]They need hard limits on the electronics, and to get bored and find ways to amuse themselves[/b] in addition to suggestions from you. I think it's good to require a daily walk, bike ride or visit to the gym as well. I started this one summer and my son kept it up without reminders after a couple weeks.[/quote] This. I set limits -- 30 minutes of video game time on weekdays and 1 hr on weekends. 1 hr of TV. Then they get bored and then find creative ways to fill the time. Kids need help with this, because the devices will lure them in. Hard limits really really work (they are set within the device). [/quote]
