I...Peggy,<br><br>I'm totally with you on this issue. I'm a teacher and I see what happens to kids over time who get hooked obsessively on media. In my opinion, it's about the gradual release of responsibility over time, using developmentally-appropriate tools and a lot of conversation in a loving context. Build in some room for kids to make mistakes with the view of talking and learning from them. Maybe when your next book is done, we should get our kids together.<br><br>Brian C. <br><br>P.S. You should check out a book called "Amusing Our Kids to Death," based on the very meaning of the word "amuse" ("un-thinking". Very thought provoking).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
