| Quote: | PlayLimit allows busy parents a simple and convenient way of limiting the time their
children spend in front of a TV. Many studies have shown that too much TV is bad for
children. Even educational video games and programs, if not restricted, can reduce
children’s ability to think and learn for themselves.
How can PlayLimit help? Simple. By giving kids tokens for a specific time period, parents
set a definite limit on how much TV their kids can watch. What’s more, the tokens
empower kids to manage their own time, so parents no longer have to be the “time’s
up!” police.
Once children understand their TV limits, parents can encourage other activities such
as reading, drawing, and sports to fill the void. And that’s the ultimate purpose of
PlayLimit — to be a positive experience for both parents and children. |
Personally I think this is bullcrap. Some kids need to let it go a little bit, but why does anyone need this thing to do that? I also know this one friend of my little brother's that is far too limited in what he plays and that seems to backlash him into just playing all the time when he was over at our house. My brother would want to take a break, but he wouldn't and that kind of thing.
Not that I'm an expert on children, mind.
