Even though he has TV and computer time every day, if given the chance he will choose to play outside with his two buddie friends. His imagination is not hampered with technology and prefers memory and board games to them. I am careful to say yes as much as I can with the interactive games and Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571521947867768070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484860057974226820.post-27833850479356428522011-02-23T14:43:55.993-05:002011-02-23T14:43:55.993-05:00Mama Pea -- thank you for your lovely words.

It's so hard to go against the current sometimes but it would feel so wrong to give up now. <br /><br />Yvette -- You're so right about giving them exposure to gadgets & technology. We find this happens "naturally" when they go over to friends' houses and they play Wii or with a DS, and fiona@fionacampbell.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09455351263890165906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484860057974226820.post-11964056881124149892011-02-23T13:58:11.892-05:002011-02-23T13:58:11.892-05:00Happy Birthday, Jack!

I did break down last year and got the kids a DS, however they have to share it and it is reserved only for Minnesota car trips (22 hours each way!) and they have respected that so far. I couldn't bring myself to get an in-car dvd player like some peopleErinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484860057974226820.post-5572668734936502312011-02-23T13:50:49.870-05:002011-02-23T13:50:49.870-05:00Hi Fiona, It is hard to teach them basic values w...Hi Fiona, It is hard to teach them basic values when there are so many gadgets that are popular with the young ones. I think your kids will understand the basic world much better than their contemporaries when they get to the teen years.

Tears of frustration and sadness for all the children growing up in the world today who will never experience a wondrous childhood and secure, stable foundation as yours are receiving.
