House Rules

How do you manage media in your home? No screen time (TV, computer) after dinner time ( 6 p.m.).

When the Kids Are Asleep…

My Biggest Challenge Is:

    parents and kids will like this smart and funny show

    Why do people in Hollywood write this stuff? It was OK for my 6-year-old, but the dialogue about therapy, childbirth pains, and the scenes of romantic love were uninteresting and unintelligible to ...
