My son Patrick is obsessed by the computer. :crazy: He is allowed about 1/2 hour a day on it. I have no idea of limits. What do you think is a reasonable time? He would sit there all day if I allowed him to.

He loves to play Reader Rabbit's Toddler, Bill and Ben and Blinky Bill. They all involve use of the mouse and he can move it and click easily.

Maybe we should have called him Bill?:lol:

A 1/2 hour a day sounds reasonable to me!

I think that sounds pretty reasonable too.

Sometimes I give Sierra a time limit like 10-15 minutes and set a timer so she knows when it's time to turn the games off. She usually wants to play a couple times a day.

Sounds sensible to me too - I can't wait until Caroline can use the mouse, then she can play "Limbo Elmo" alone! :lol:

I think 1/2 hour seems good too. Carter doesn't use the mouse yet so I have to do EVERYTHING! 1/2 is plenty for me!
