Kids and electronics...Limit their time

(1/2) > >>

Flyin6:
My boys were spending too much time in their electronic gaming world

I made a change to all that

They have to earn it

They get an equal amount of time to play with their electronics as they spend working

If they sweep the floor, they get 20 minutes game time

A load of clothes washed and folded = 1 hour.

If they read for one hour, they get one hour game time.

Yesterday, two hours of pulling weeds earned them two hours of modern warfare

An hour spent reading the bible earns them an hour of minecraft

And on it goes. They can't play it until they earn it first.

Wilbur:
I like that Don. I agree that video games should be viewed as a reward. And no matter what limiting time is important. 

Farmer Jon:
My 6 year old won't have any game time at all for 2 weeks. Got caught with moms kindle in his bag. He took it to school.

I think that is a great plan Mr. Don. I see way too many kids these days who are wrapped so tightly in video games that they lose touch with reality. It is really sad.

This one doesn't just apply to kids.  Plenty of adults out there running around with there head staring at their phone or other electrical device oblivious to the world around them.  Everytime we drive someplace I am disappointed in how much time my wife spends staring at her phone instead of looking around and looking at the world.
