Nearly a year ago, we took our kid’s iPads away. Yes, you read that right. Besides a recent family vacation, iPad usage has been zero. However, screens have a funny way of creeping back into your kids' lives (it’s like a fatal attraction). Even though we had eliminated the iPads, the TV was becoming more and more prevalent. Even though we thought a little bit of screen time here and there made our lives easier, we began to see the downside of it first-hand (the boys were whinier, less capable of playing independently for extended periods, always wanted a show on, etc.)
