Moms Talk: TV and Video Games

Each week in Moms Talk, our Moms Council of experts and smart moms take your questions, give advice and share solutions. Join along in the discussion with the Moms Council in the comments section below

Moms, dads, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community will have a new resource for questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians, 24-hour pharmacies and the thousands of other issues that arise while raising children.

Moms Talk will also be the place to drop in for a talk about the latest parenting hot topic. Do you know of local moms raising their children in the  and is it the best way? Where can we get information on  for children? How do we talk to our children about the Tucson shootings? How can we help our children's schools weather their budget cutbacks?

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today with a question about TV and video games:

Are there certain TV programs that you do not allow your children to watch? Do you put blocks on certain stations on your television? Do you allow your children to have a TV in their rooms?

Do you set a certain daily allotment of video game time? Do you monitor what they play and forbid certain games? Can they play before their homework is done?
