We allow them to play on Paint or Word any time. We don't have too many games on our computers, so they mainly play games while they are online.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13875603488434952711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24404310.post-37714588560014448942008-06-24T04:58:00.000-07:002008-06-24T04:58:00.000-07:00I struggle with deciding how much screen time to l...I struggle with deciding how much screen time to let my kids have too, Angela-- not just TV, but also computers. I don't have any answers. At this point, we allow them to have thirty minutes of computer time after their work for the day has been done (schoolwork and chores). We generally save TV for weekend evenings and sick days, unless we have an educational dvd we want to watch. And unless dh has a sporting event he wants to watch on a weekday evening.<BR/><BR/>I guess a helpful measuring stick would be whether they are attentive, thoughtful children or not. If they are thoughtless and distractible, the screen time certainly isn't helping.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13875603488434952711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24404310.post-60891215308718386102008-06-24T00:35:00.000-07:002008-06-24T00:35:00.000-07:00I'm struggling with reconciling how much screen ti...I'm struggling with reconciling how much screen time my kids should have....enough so that they're considered educated but not so much that they are considered dull and stupid.
