What My Kids Love Now

The kids are really into Judy Blume, Animal Crossing and Wizards of Waverly Place.

House Rules

In our house kids get 1 hour of 'screen time'. Anything above that is shared family time (watching a movie together) - task specific (checking email for library hold notices) or a specific privilege.

When the Kids Are Asleep…

We play a lot of video games once the kids are alseep.

My Biggest Challenge Is:

Limiting the negative media influences without engaging in overt censorship.
