This give the kids time to come down from the excited high they get playing electronics. Then with our other night rituals (bath time & reading), they are pretty calmed down for bed. My son with autism will often lay in bed talking to himself about the game he was playing, but it's not a hyper-type of talk, if that makes sense. =)<br /><br />Thanks for all your feedback, everyone!Danyelle Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006907198681924095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265041595520726324.post-60981951039173975792011-01-03T22:06:50.705-06:002011-01-03T22:06:50.705-06:00Wow!

I have always been with you on the "NO video games we have a computer" idea because I had a brother too. :) But reading your post opens up some new perspective. I think the biggest problem I've seen is one that you address--setting time limits. And from what I've seen kids will try to push that limit as far and as often as they can. I really like your ideas--good job!Rachelle Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522589944408062365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265041595520726324.post-40987579668147331132011-01-03T19:53:00.658-06:002011-01-03T19:53:00.658-06:00Your points are good ones, and I love that you fou...Your points are good ones, and I love that you found a way to work video games into your lives in a beneficial way without letting them take over, as they do so often. =)Heather Justesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16585046213575146355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265041595520726324.post-47321003965623682792011-01-03T19:05:19.354-06:002011-01-03T19:05:19.354-06:00That is so cool!

We can sure tell a difference in our house when we've been too lax with our restraints!!Tristi Pinkstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122250747480013804noreply@blogger.com
