[quote=Anonymous]our kids (7th and 5th grades) get almost no screen time on weekends (except for the homework they need to do on the computer). Oh, well, we often watch a movie or foreign language show together one of the weekend evenings. And sometimes on the other weekend night, the kids can watch whatever they want (often youtube, and so far they don't seek out anything we'd have issues with) while my husband and I watch something on the TV. Sometimes they ask for computer play time. I usually make a condition that half of the time needs to be either a learning-to-touch-type website or a math games website. They still think those are kind of fun, so they don't complain. Total time (if that happens) is less than an hour. I feel strongly about kids needing to be outside. Also needing time to be alone with their thoughts, which doesn't happen when at the computer.[/quote]
