[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the Ipads have to go to the Ipad hospital for a few weeks to get fixed.  Out of sight out of mind.  Break the pattern and then decide on limits when they are "all better"

There is no difference between Ipad viewing and TV viewing.  [/quote]

What's wrong with Ipad viewing or TV viewing? I don't follow.[/quote]
There is nothing wrong with watching tv, just like there's nothing wrong with the IPAD.  The problem is when you rely on these things too much and then there are other things that don't happen, like talking to each other, imaginative play, daydreaming, reading, etc.

So I have a plan that I will discuss with my husband and see if I can get him on board.  M-Thursday we will allow any device for an hour when we get home.  Frankly, I need a little time to decompress after work and get dinner started and I know the kids need a little decompression too.  Then for the rest of the night, all devices, including parent phones, will be put away for the night until kids are down.  Assuming I can get husband on board, we will talk to the kids during our vacation next week and we will also get the kids involved in writing a list of things that we can do instead of the IPAD so I don't have to hear about being bored.
