Please could you take time in answering a couples of questions?
DS 10 watches about 6-7 hours tv a week, an hour after school and a dvd at the weekend. He has an ipod touch which he plays on between 7.30-8pm after he has ready for a bit. He is out of the house lots during the week - football, scouts and swimming.
Over the holidays he has been at holiday club and has come back saying that it is unfair that he can't watch tv whenever he wants too as he has found out that lots of kids have tvs and xboxs in room.
We were thinking of TV in room for Xmas present but what i wanted to know is whether his tv / gadget time is about right for his age?
He does his school work willingly when he comes home from school and his grades were a bit above average. My concern is that if he starts spending more time watching tv / gadget rather than reading / artwork / lego then it might lead to school work going down - am i being silly? Am I controlling his 'free' time too much? Do i need to back off? TIA
