Tough to go for it very strictly, at least having it for once a week is a must but for kids I totally agree that it can be avoided. I would encourage my kid to have more outdoor games and learn by reading good books from library rather than sit and surf whole day at such young age.

Really interesting....I think I'll have a no television rule as my hubby just comes home and keeps wacthing tv...sometimes I think that's fine after a hard days work but after 10 rule is quite ok...we can just talk or take a walk after that

I know some parents who managed to pull off no tv or computer after 8 p.m. with their teenaged kids. The kids have made up for it by spending more time on the phone, but at least the electricity bills are down.

I love all the ideas, but fire/candles is worse than electricity...I would not advise in doing that.

Interesting indeed, in fact it is only those rare times when I can not sleep that I am on past 9pm actually. I have cut down quite a lot on my computer time though

i turn everything off too just to save electricity. It's amazing how much power things like a big screen TV will consume even when they're off.
