[quote=Anonymous]Somehow we also fell in the bad habit of the kids watching Netflix every morning while we were getting ready for work. It started innocently enough (1 show while I feed the baby!), but 1 show morphed into 2,3,4 and the "baby" was now 3 years old! We moved to a new house, so I used the transition to start over. No more Netflix in the AM Monday - Friday. I thought there would be a mutiny, but they did great! We've been going strong for 9 months! I used to "rationalize" our AM Netflix habit by saying things like "it's not like they are going to go play outside at 7am", but you know what... Sometimes they do! Or they they play in the basement, etc. I do let them watch as much as they want Sat and Sun before breakfast. I find that after about 90 min, they are bored with it. They don't get to use iPads or the phone, so this is it.[/quote]
