BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO! I applaud you folks for airing such an important special on the Addiction of T.V. watching, Video Games, Text Messaging, Internet Porn & On-Line Gambling - all SCREEN watching activities. I speak to you as one who is recovering from ALL of those! Well - minus the text messaging - I love the "ol fashioned" way of talking on the phone. EVERY PARENT NEEDS TO SEE THIS!! The one thing that was NOT mentioned - which I think is of VITAL importance. Children will imitate what they see us as Parents do. If they see us watching T.V., on the computer all the time - they will do the same. If they see us reading a book, just sitting in a room talking to our spouse with NO DISTRACTIONS - they will do the same. Lead by Example.
Again - I am a recovering addict myself. I am enjoying turning the T.V. off and reading a good book, taking a nice walk with my family.
Let's engage in each other - not those addicting Screens!
