My parents didn't limit shite for me and I'm a 25-year old college graduate with a job and a minor cocaine addiction.
It could be a lot worse. Just let them play on the ipad.
Are you really comparing our childhood to kids today?

I fully support limiting screen time and making kids go outside and play, however it's a tough decision as to how much to limit. Too little screen time and they can fall behind entering school. I'm sure people will bash me for this but it really is necessary to get them well adjusted to using technology to learn prior to entering school. It's a foundation they have to have now.

We preach against the Internet and video games at my church.

From my brief look at that Koala Safe thing you linked, it seems like it's just a more secure wi-fi router that would limit internet time, not necessarily screen time, right?
Couldn't they still play Minecraft or other games offline without the device interfering with it? So you'd still have to physically take the device away if you truly wanted to limit their screen time.

Serious question: why? We have members take notes and follow scriptures on their tablets.
I could see preaching against certain video games like like GTA,but what about LeapPad learning?

Do you want your kids to be successful in life just say frick it, and let them do as they please.

The wife and I have been battling Internet time with the kids for a while, just an idea but, a secondary router branching from the main feed with a electric timer. Children's devices are given wifi from the secondary router only and the power timer toggles the time of day it's active.

We have a deal. For every minute he spends reading, he gets equal time after on his tablet or XBox.
