Constructive Time

My kids like playing free online computer games such as those provided by PBS (Public Broadcasting System), although at times I wonder if they are too eager to play computer games at the expense of other simpler activities. So today, I told them they could not get on the computer yet until they studied, read a book, played with puzzles, and do other non-computer-related activities. They did all of the above activities and then also played with their Lego set. I was pleased.
