[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of you dramatically overestimate how much influence you’ll have over your child’s eventual screen and exercise habits. [/quote] I disagree. My youngest is now 7 and is extremely athletic and watches very little tv and doesn't own an ipad or any video game systems. Because that's how we raised our kids. We instilled joy in being active and noted that screens were a boring last resort activity. We didnt fill our time with screens. We filled our times with bike rides, walks, balls, trampolines, scavenger hunts, sports teams, and other movement. We used books, music, and toys for "down time" when too tired from physical activity or when an adult couldn't interact with them. Of course I have no idea what they will think or do at age 30, but I definitely have an influence over their elementary years. [/quote]
