[quote=Anonymous]I had OP's rule until my kids turned 12. Now when they finish homework, they can watch some TV but it I have learned it is more psychological with my kids. They want to watch it more when you say no. When I gave them permission, they don't really sit in front of the TV and watch. It becomes background noise mostly. Also, like a previous PP, now that my kids are older, they play a lot of sports and have practice 2-3 times per week and at least one game a week. They don't have much time for TV because when they get home, they eat dinner and have to do homework. After they do all that and shower, it's pretty much time for bed. They are tired. My son might watch college sports and daughter may watch one of her favorite shows on Netflix but it is not continous. You should reassess things as they get older.[/quote]
