[quote=Anonymous]My 8 yr old is consumed by screens -- always has been so we have to have a lot of rules around them. On the weekend, if he just finished an hour of Wii in the morning, he'll start talking right away about the next amount of screentime he'll be getting. The Wii has become really addictive to him. I've let him have an hour of screens afterschool each day and he will now only pick Wii. It's feeling like too much to me so I'm considering saying Wii only on the weekend -- that led to many tears and freaking out -- showing me that he really is dependent on it. I'm just curious how others handle screens? TV only? Or any type of screens? I hesitate to put so many rules around it that it becomes this thing he wants even more (although I don't think it's possible for him to want screen time anymore than he does!) Wish I could get rid of all our screens and we'll just listen to the radio from here on out! ;)[/quote]
