[quote=Anonymous]You just need to take away the screens. There are a couple of days of whining and boredom, but then it is just SO MUCH BETTER. Trust me. I went through this whole thing, I had such a love-hate relationship with the screens because they are entertained and quiet when they are on them, but it's like, wow, they are zombies. Just announce that screens are only available on weekdays after camp, or weekends until noon, or some rule, and then STICK TO IT. If they get bored, send them outside, have kids over for play dates, take them to the pool, or even just ignore them and let them figure something on their own. It's worth it. [/quote]
