Spring Ahead!
Although Spring is still another week away, Daylight Savings Time begins this weekend. So even though we lose an hour of sleep, we gain an hour of sunlight! Encourage your kids to get outside!
Did you know that kids spend nearly 7.5 hours per day on their computers, listening to their iPods, watching television, and talking on the phone? What’s worse is that they cram 10 hours of information into that time. They’ve got Smartphones that allow them to surf the web, listen to music, and text their friends all at once. Multitask much?
How many of your kids spend more time tending to their Farmville crops on Facebook than they do outside in a real garden?

Thankfully, FaceBook is not an issue with us, but I do admit that I go through periods of time where I allow them to spend too much time with the tv. I tell them all the time, “When I was you age, my mom had to call me in for dinner, otherwise I’d spend all day & night outside!” Sometimes I feel like I have to kick them out or they’d never play outside.
