It HAD to be done. The electronics needed to be severely limited. The Nintendo DS, tablet, computer games, Wii, and cell phone games all have a relevant and "important" place in our lives. They are enjoyable to the children. They allow the parents to peace and quiet. They also have some educational value.
Day one: Hana and Ian are playing together.
No fighting from Haley eventhough its late and she's still working
Day two: No one even asked. On the way home Hana and Ian made PLANS to play together...and once home, they did. Ian went to bed without drama. Haley stayed up until 11pm doing her harp. #winning
Update 9/30/14: Haley, in particular, has been much more productive without the pull of gaming technology. In October, the "deal" is 1 hour on week-days, 2 hours on week-ends. I do not think Haley will have the time for that...but Ian...will be glad to have the 'limited' time to engage in this activity.
