But I am having to consciously say no. Even this morning, they asked if they could play computers while their dad was still asleep and I had to say no, reminding them that screen time is not Friday, Saturday and Sunday! I definitely have not got this one aced but fight the convenience of it every day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330944753499639576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107509835570701987.post-23238408376380209982011-10-08T11:39:13.880+02:002011-10-08T11:39:13.880+02:00Thanks, a good wake-up call, I did become a bit &q...Thanks, a good wake-up call, I did become a bit "lazy".

I become lazy and then its so easy to put them in front of screen. We are learning to brave the cold by dressing warmer and getting them to read, play games or build lego rather than computer games and tv.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330944753499639576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107509835570701987.post-75653758526260191602011-10-07T13:24:27.974+02:002011-10-07T13:24:27.974+02:00Hi Mel, i think you about covered it all...the kid...Hi Mel, i think you about covered it all...the kids are into bugs of all kinds at the moment, which i find good as it gets them outdoors..lifting rocks and climbing mountains..winter seems to make us all want to hibernate next to...some sort of screen...so i am glad it is summer again...Jenni C'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799882110683572183noreply@blogger.com
