[quote=Anonymous]We are/were in that boat and decided to change the rules. We started a system where DD (4.5) can earn "bucks" for doing good things. Great day at pre-school, getting ready in the morning, going to bed well, etc. She can spend her "bucks" for ipad time or other prizes. The iPad time can't be used when we otherwise had prohibited it (i.e. during meals, before getting dressed for school, etc.). It has really cut down on how much she watches because she doesn't want to spend her "bucks". We are also more diligent about keeping track of the time she is watching when she is paying for it. Timer goes off and she turns it off, or pays an extra "buck" if she complains, and it still goes off. It seems to be helping her behavior (the rewarding of the "bucks") and the iPad time. It also allowed us to sneak in a few new rules about when iPad isn't allowed. We have only been doing this for about a week now, but it seems to be helping.[/quote]
