Like many parents, we control the kids’ TV time – and we limit their access to electronic games.
By limiting the time they get to watch TV, we get to be more selective of the kind of shows they can enjoy. It has been this way for them since they were born so it is easier for them to accept when their show time is over – although not always without protest.
The same policy goes with electronic game device. At this moment, despite the many educational-driven themes from devices such as the xbox games, Playstation games or even basic computer games, we have no intention (so far) of buying any video game devices.
Instead, we spend more money on reading materials to encourage them to make reading a habit – and we have books everywhere around the house (and cars).
They might be the most “backward” kids in their class in terms of slangs and knowledge of TV shows or games – but judging from their highly animated and very spirited role-playing games, I think they are doing just fine.
