How will you manage your kids device time this summer?

Remember the days when watching TV was the only option?   We had 2 channels.   I spent my summer watching Days of Our Lives because there was NOTHING on!   Now we not only do we have hundreds of channels to choose from, but there is YouTube, and Pinterest, and Instagram, and Facebook and well you get this picture.  


I know what is on my mind this summer.   How will I monitor the kids and their device time?   I have 4 kids and they are all grade school age and older.   My son is the most affected when it comes to too much device time.    He is moody, grumpy, and out of sorts if he spends too much time.

Unless we make a deliberate effort to have a plan for our device time it won't happen.

I am curious to hear from you.

How do you monitor your kids device time?

Does it affect your kids mood if they spend too much time on it?

How do you keep up with all of it?   Snapchat, Vines, Instagram, email, texting

Are you overwhelmed?

We are having a discussion on my Facebook Page this week.   I'd love for you to join us!

We are the first generation to parent this issue.   I know as a fellow parent I can use all the help I can get.
