I felt a bit harsh on my kids as I announced to them that this week they can’t watch TV and for my daughter, she can’t read her favorite pocketbooks. This is actually some kind of a disciplining effort after they did something. Today is their 4th day and surprisingly, they didn’t ask me about watching TV. As for my daughter, I could find her reading more of her science and history books. She hasn’t done this for awhile after being hooked with Enid Blyton and the like. Since they don’t have the TV time in the afternoon, they are playing more and doing a lot of crafts on their own. I’m glad that they’re enjoying their ‘break’ from TV and pocketbooks. Now, I’m seriously thinking of making another schedule that only includes TV time during the weekends. I think this will work..:)
