[quote=Anonymous]OP, sometimes it helps to designate one weekend day the screen time day, and one day non screen time. So let him use his Wii time for more hours Saturday, but Sunday is family day. So he might not be thrilled about going on a family hike on Sunday, say, but at least he won't feel it is eating into his Wii time. We told our child(age 11) that he may use internet/tv/Wii/DVDs for any 2 hour period each day (during the summer) between the hours of 4 and 9 PM. He may choose the hours and they do not need to be in a row. He needs to come to dinner though and sit all the way through it and clean up with the family, but as much as possible we will work with his timing when scheduling mandatory family events in the evening hours. So all day long, he is aware that computer games just are't an option -- and therefore there's no whining.[/quote]
