Quote From: lisan3kids We are removing the computers from our home. You CAN live without them! And when you remobve High Speed internet, and cable TV overload...your teen probably wont want to waste his or her time waiting for a slow download, or watching network TV, no SouthPark or 24/7 cartoons!!.. Dr Phil talks about parents doing the hard work.. I am willing to take away the problem items at least in my home.. no internet, no alchohol, no cel phone..etc. No car!!! Geez! It's not fun being the bad guy, but they actually start reading, drawing, playing games and talking to you wiothout Everyone glued to a screen!
It is the parents who don't want to give up these convenoiences.. and addictions... selfish.
I know, cuz I am talking about MYSELF!! It is so hard to let go, but the benifits are great!
You can always hook it back up ! Lisan
real smart removing the computer, (he) only needs it for homework... (no it can't always be done in school.) Next to that it is a major part of teen's social network nowadays.
Anyways why so drastic? you can restrict use of these items! But then is more work because then you have to enforce the rules. anyways it doesn't have to be so drastic.
