Do you limit the amount

We are SO easy going about tv time and computer time. I would say that my boys have unlimited time with both. I think because they can watch tv whenever, they lose interest. They are mostly outside each afternoon with friends anyway so it's not really an issue. Video games are what we limit the most in our house, because I've noticed that it's my biggest discipline tool and when the boys play too many video games, they tend to fight more.

We're the same way....usually homework is taking most of the time up then sports. When there is down time its usually watching a DVD or occasional TV show but my ydd is more likely to do that. My tween tends to read rather than watch TV/play on the PC. Lately the girls have spent more time w/the PC on the Neopets website. The GBA interest comes & goes (not much activity now ;-)

We don't have any set rules here except that their homework has to be done and, sometimes, they are required to clean their rooms before they can watch tv. Their computer/tv time is limited just by the nature of our lives. They have school, homework, baths, etc and before they know it it's bedtime. They might watch 1/2 an hour to an hour of tv on some nights but even that is not every night.
