Hey highflyingbird....have you ever heard the Elton John song 'high flying bird'? I always liked it.
Anyway, back to your issue. I have a couple comments.
1. This is an opportunity for you to discuss the 'lying' aspect of things
2 The IPAD, When my youngest son is using the IPAD I feel like I'm partially responsible because I am not engaging with him, or giving him something else more productive to do. So I mentally browbeat myself first and think what can I do...
3. Everybody needs some relaxation time, the issue is a reasonable balance.
4. The suggestions about storing the IPAD's close to the bed after 8:30 or turning off the WIFI seems good too.
Thanks for the thoughts. My kids have a couple hours of playtime after school in an after care program, so I do think its ok for them to come home and veg out a bit. Thats a long day or work and running around. But I still think...man they were gone all day, I really should be doing something *with* them.
LOL I was listening to Richie Havens cover of a different High Flying Bird song when creating my account. The high flying bird is talking about a dead person's soul...I should have picked better, I think.
