[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Physical activity is important and screen time is bad. We were a big sports family but we also ended up with two D1 athletes on scholarship. It was a lot of work for our children and for us to manage their athletic training schedule. I don’t recommend getting on that treadmill. Find an activity your child enjoys. I would suggest a team sport of some kind if possible. Being part of a team fosters accountability, camaraderie, commitment and dedication. Limit screen time at all costs. Heck, I’d buy a kid a dirt bike these days before I bought a gaming system.[/quote] We have an ancient Wii. Our kids don't spend much time on it - a few hours a month. There are ways to have screen time options and still limit it. Does help that we have either music lessons or sports practice for one kid or another most nights of the week.[/quote]
