The iPad should work for this as well. We have a tablet which I keep off-line, and the youngest kids are allowed to use it instead of the computer. 🙂

I’m definitely starting this soon! Now, I just need to find a way to have trusted sites easy to access! Of course, the iPad could work for this, too!

My 2 older boys are very much interested in video games right now and are always asking when they can play them. Same as with the above comment though, it’s always for the end of the day. They can earn some TV time where they’re allowed to choose from a select few DVD’s that the younger kids can participate in watching with them.

A small treat can be just as motivating as screen time! That’s actually how I taught 1 child to read. He had no desire to learn so I gave him a small snack after every lesson. He loved it and eventually became an avid reader. 🙂

We tried that years ago–once they finished they could have screens, and it worked! EXCEPT that the children who didn’t have screens yet were suddenly whining about not having it, or the one I wasn’t working with (since I have 3) was sneaking off to watch the sibling play. So, we moved screens to the “end of the day,” but getting screens at 3 or 4pm just isn’t very motivating at 8am. LOL I know everyone will say it’s bad, but we give a small treat for finishing work, either a sucker or a fruit snacks. It doesn’t always work for motivation, but about 75% of the time it does.
