We don't do any kind of screen time on the weekdays and he is much better, but I think we'd better skip on weekends too now. Great results--thanks for sharing!

You are a great mom. A lot of people wouldn't see that connection. Also sounds like you've got the idea that people like being praised for what they've done more than being told what to do. It can be hard to step back and realize how to work that. Woo hoo! You are a great mom. A lot of people wouldn’t see that connection.

I'm glad the no-media thing is making a difference. It's always good to know what helps bring peace (or take it away) in the home. Wow, what amazing kids you have!

For what it's worth, Elizabeth tends to be the same way with TV. The days with no tv (and all we give her is PBS shows and disney movies) she's usually a GEM, the days where she gets to watch tv she turns into a BEAST! Any wonder why i keep the tv off when dad's not home? ;-) YAAAYYY!!! For what it’s worth, Elizabeth tends to be the same way with TV.
