IDEA SELECTION

The most practical idea

Having a schedule of activities for children

including 1 hour for the computer (only 1

hour)

◦ Most child development experts recommend

that the total time children spend at the

screen (which includes watching TV and

movies and play video games or computers) is

limited to one or two hours a day.

The most disruptive idea

Buy software to monitor computer use

and games

◦ In the market various types of content filters

special children, which also function as

antivirus and antispam content provide

protection against disadvantages.

◦ These filters can select content, according to

a schedule and provide records of sites

visited.

My favorite idea

Checking the schedule computer usage

◦ Set a time limit before our children start playing. For example, if you want your child to play only 30 minutes, tell him it will be its limit and set the kitchen timer.

◦ When will ring the bell to end the game, without protest.

◦ If you complain or try to negotiate to play longer, quietly Keep telling what your time frame. If he refuses to stop playing, and save off the game for the appropriate time.
