When parents limit screen time, kids behave, sleep, and test better - CNET

Over the past year we have limited our kids screen time to weekends only.  They are allowed to interact with screens during the week if it is educational (games or sites) and are allowed to play Just Dance on the Wii.  It has had a huge positive impact.  We used to limit them to just an hour a day but even that led to some bad habits.  This study just confirms the anecdotal evidence we are already witnessed.
