[quote=Anonymous]It is summer, so I think it’s okay if tv is the main draw for the kids. Surprisingly, my kids watch very little tv. I get up early to log some work hours so that I can get off of work at 4 pm. While I’m working they are responsible for making their bed and brushing their teeth; making, eating and cleaning up breakfast; emptying and reloading the dishwasher and packing their lunches. I have a middle schooler and two elementary age kids. The kindergartner is less cooperative with the schedule and tends to dawdle but the 3rd grader and 6th grader stick to this schedule pretty well. In the evenings, when the weather is nice we take a walk, if not at activities, sit on the porch and eat ice cream, go to the pool, and I notice the kids will play on the piano a lot. Not always practicing what they are supposed to but just making up their own songs. [/quote]
