What a great post. I've ...Thank you, thank you! What a great post. I've started letting my daughter color pictures, do Hidden Pictures (Highlights), or play PBSkids.org games online and wow, I'm amazed how quickly she's gotten "addicted" to it. I've realized I need to limit her time and actually SET a timer for her. But also, it's made me realize how much I'm on the computer myself. If my kids see the back of my head all day long, what is that telling them?? I don't want them to think my email inbox or blog is more important than them. Moderation of technology definitely has to start with us as their parents! Thanks for the wonderful ideas - we'll have to create an "idea" jar as well. I can't believe I'm hearing "I'm bored" from my child who's not even 5 yet!jooleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664909712252718945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164299303744327866.post-17441740000205305102010-05-06T18:23:33.318-06:002010-05-06T18:23:33.318-06:00I agree with all you said.

We have a timer in the family room so that we don't have to badger the kids to turn off the tv/computer/video games. When they hear the timer, they know it's time to find a different activity.Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02006863256012513200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164299303744327866.post-8877497819144586012010-05-05T11:22:24.693-06:002010-05-05T11:22:24.693-06:00Nature Defecit Disorder made me laugh.

It's so easy to turn on a movie, or let our children play on the computer. It keeps them entertained for hours on end. It's not just that the children are addicted to technology, but that it's an easy pacifier, and parents often turn to it for such. As parents, we are also guilty of being constantly connected - with smart phones, blogging, the iPad, etc. We need to set a good example for our children, and take the time to "disconnect" ourselves and interact with them. I'm as guilty as anyone, and constantly need to work on this! Thanks for sharing your ideas on how to keep it in moderation.Kristen Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967773946408723608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164299303744327866.post-168409756606830522010-05-05T08:46:21.466-06:002010-05-05T08:46:21.466-06:00When we moved into our house two years ago, we did...When we moved into our house two years ago, we didn't hook up our Tv to any kind of stations. We have hooked it up to the dvd player so that we can watch Disney movies or Blue's Clues. There was hardly anything that we really wanted to watch on regular tv, and nothing that we wanted our kids (2 1/2, 1) to watch. Plus, when they go to three different grandma's houses in one week, sometimes one day, and watch tv... it's above and beyond too much. I am so glad that the weather is finally getting warmer so that we can go outside all of the time.Amanda Joy Petersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03442561632262548306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164299303744327866.post-57046055738526349662010-05-05T07:59:09.493-06:002010-05-05T07:59:09.493-06:00p.s. i've included you in one of my "moth...p.s. i've included you in one of my "mother's week" posts. look for it on Friday!Nicholehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10911836222035780777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164299303744327866.post-65150095759710665122010-05-05T07:51:24.531-06:002010-05-05T07:51:24.531-06:00Thanks so much for answering my question so thorou...Thanks so much for answering my question so thoroughly! "moderation in all things" might just be my new parenting motto. I really appreciated the ideas you provided for making moderation possible when we may be tempted to think it's not. <br /><br />oh, and thank for taking my oath :) ...

I don't have time for it. But I agree moderation is best. Thanks for the info and numbers. We have a no tv after dinner rule (except for our Friday movie)and that's been good. I would like to set up more rules, so thanks for the encouragement.<br />Any ideas on how to moderate the x-box for the dh? :)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676577604632155345noreply@blogger.com
