Limit Time Spent Online
No doubt that the Internet and interactive video game can be excellent sources of education and entertainment for kids. But the amount of time kids spend online is a source of frustration for many parents. Initially, parents welcomed the Internet into their homes, believing they were opening up an exciting new world of educational opportunities for their children. However, many parents soon realized that, instead of using the Internet for homework or research, their kids were spending hours instant messaging with friends, playing online games, or talking to strangers in chat rooms.
Maintaining a healthy balance between entertainment media and other activities in their children's lives has always been a challenge for parents. The Internet has made this challenge even more difficult. Please note that the American Academy of Pediatrics's recommendation that parents limit screen time to no more than two hours per day includes Internet, television, videos/DVDs, and video games.
