But It's Just a Game
Julia Cook's book, But It's Just a Game, gives kids (and parents too) some advice on limiting "screen time" and hopefully preventing a screen addiction in kids. Here's the link to it if you would like to purchase it on Amazon.com.
At the back of the book are several tips for parents of kids with a potential screen addiction:
- Make sure the rules are reasonable and enforceable.
- While setting limits, be honest about your concerns.
- Insist that non-screen activities occur each day.
- Taper "screen time"
- Limit access to all forms of technology.
- Get family members to commit to backing the parent's decision to set serious limits on technology use.
- If possible, have a separate computer on which to do school work.
- Have a central location for the computer and game console.
- Introduce the compulsive Internet user to peers who handle their Internet use sensibly.
- Be patient in the process.

Looking for something to do as a family?
Football brings all the excitement and experience of playing football while also teaching about the science that makes it all possible. Test your throwing skills in the Passing Cage area and learn what they truly mean when they say someone has a “rifle arm.” Try and match the speed of an NFL running back and learn the ideal trajectory for kicking a field goal. Football covers everything from the history of the game to the science of catching a pass!
