[quote=Anonymous]So I am to limit my charges' screen time to one hour per day, whether that be cartoon or video games. And I agree with this. However, these kids have SOOOOO many damn cartoons piled up in their DVR, a TON of DVD's, and a TON of video games. Then as if their Wii Gaming system wasn't enough, for Christmas they get a SECOND TV in their playroom for their brand new X-BOX! So each gaming system has its own TV...they are side by side in the play room. This makes like 7 TV's in their house total! I keep them busy the best I can (especially now while they are out of school on break), but it is difficult to keep them away from screen time (while it's freezing out and we are very limited on what outings we can take) when their entire house is one entertainment mecca of kids screen time stuff. Of course they have told me they let them do a lot more screen time on weekends when I'm not here (of course! why have to actually engage your own kids?!). Grrrr! Why such a double standard and mixed message. As I said, I agree with the limits, but don't make every corner a screen time fun place in your house if you have limits on how much screen time they have. [/quote]
