They get about an hour a day and sometimes not even that much when it's nice out. Back when we were kids we didn't have tv overload. It was a lot easier to pull yourself away from the tv because cartoons weren't running 24/7 and we didn't have a dvr. My kids (ages 6,4 & 2) still have no idea how to turn on the wii, so it's something we can still monitor very easily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155848750569824257.post-15705987483969486502012-09-27T18:47:03.526-04:002012-09-27T18:47:03.526-04:00wow. this movie is strong in the message.

In the end - all for the people, but in moderation. :)Bluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01462011364573904963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155848750569824257.post-90956467371124593732012-09-27T14:30:45.386-04:002012-09-27T14:30:45.386-04:00I love this!

My husband was diagnosed with Celiac as an adult, right after our wedding, and so we all of the sudden HAD to learn to read ingredients and understand what we were eating. I soon got really into eating healthily and now that I'm a mom, I'm REALLY into making healthy "fun." I have a tag on my blog for "Ethan's Weekly Eats" which are his fun toddler lunches that I make for him that are ways to do just that: make healthy stuff fun! Letting him run around outside and be a kid is also so important to me. My son is just 15 months old and I've met other parents whose children already watch 2 movies a day and eat Happy Meals. It's totally a scary world out there. Designed to Move is awesome!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18101932639543215210noreply@blogger.com
