Computer Time - Georgetown,MA

We dont' really limit computer. Screen time is first thing in the morning before breakfast. Sometimes this means 15 minutes, sometimes over an hour. it all depends on when we eat.

But I'm weird, I don't 'see anything wrong with computer or TV time. Books are great, but so are computer games and certain TV shows.

I'm not worried. I gave my kids their big box of books for their "curriculum" (I homeschool and only buy them books and games, no curriculum), and my oldest literally danced around for 15 minutes with joy because of all the science books.

Everything has it's place, and limits are only to make sure things don't get out of hand.

i'd definitely be more lenient about it with this sort of thing.
does he get outside and play a lot?

No more than 2 hours of screen time per day - that includes tv and educational computer time along with anything else that's recreational.
He's got his whole life in front of him to be sitting in front of a computer and only a limited amount of time when he can run around outside and play.
Right now you have some control over how much of a couch potato he can be.
That gets a lot harder once he's older and doing lot's of homework on it.

Yes, because the time he is in front of screens (educational or not) is in fact time he is not playing outside, being physically active and engaging his own imagination.
