[quote=Anonymous]How old are your boys? Easiest is to just have a no TV in mornings rule and stick with it all year. Once they are in the habit of getting TV in the mornings, it is hard to just lessen it without going cold turkey. Their minds are not even thinking about what else they could do. Once TV option is gone, they will start using their imaginations. For families who don't want so much TV time, consider just moving the TV into the basement or something. Partly because of the layout of our house and partly because of desire, we don't have a TV on the main floor. Perhaps this helps our kids avoid TV because there isn't a huge TV staring at them all the time tempting them. The TV is in the basement and we go down there to watch shows and movies together. I use a laptop for them to watch netflix on the main floor on weekend afternoons. [/quote]
