Life Before Electronics

 

I remember when I was a kid, we played outside until the street lights came on.  We would play tag, ride our bikes until the tires had no tread left on them, roller skate, or just run around being silly.  What happened to those days?

My kids are all about electronics.  They had to have a Play Station, then the Xbox, then the Xbox 360 came out.  We can't go anywhere without the Ipods or the phones, and they don't want to play outside like we always did.

I finally put my foot down (yes I know I am the bad mom)!  they are allowed 2 hours of electronics a day after their chores are done.  They have to find something else to do the rest of the day whether it be riding bikes, playing board games, or reading a book, I don't care but enough of this electronic obsessed world!

Do you have set guidelines with your own children and their electronics?
