[quote=Anonymous]OP I could have written your post as well as your replies. Like you I've sort of softened on the games because DS wouldn't have much contact with friends otherwise and he is at the age where he feels like Legos and "playing" with things is babyish. What I've found sort of works is to have non-screen activities lying around for the kids to find. Things like the velcro ball catch or new markers, nothing expensive or amazing, just enough to peak their interest or an old toy that reappears. I find that if I declare "It Is Not Screen Time Until 6:00" they just count the minutes til 6. But if there's stuff around for them to discover on their own somehow that's different. [/quote]
