Becky and I have been considering having "No TV" days a couple of times a week within our household. Studies like this help add credence to that idea.
We were using the EyeTimer for a little while but it wasn't getting along with our computer very well so we had to stop using it. I would like to re-instate some similar device. Maybe the TV Allowance.
We'll probably have to extend the "No TV" idea to no computers as well since computers are rapidly replacing TVs as the screen of choice for all members of our family (parents included).
Here is a resource website with many ideas in that category: http://www.familysafemedia.com/

Our "screen free" day was a huge success! Once we went through the "withdrawl" phase for like 1/2 hour,then we got really creative and enjoyed our lives so much more! The kids were much happier by the end of the day. Of course, I made today a screens back on day and checked my email and your blogs :)
