PBSkids.org
As everyone probably knows, we're pretty diligent (read: obsessed) about limiting Soren's "screen time" which for kids his age is mostly today's way of saying "tv time." Since kids now are also so into the Internet and computer games it is lumped together in one big catchall term: "screen time". Until now, for Soren that does just mean TV time. But on OPB (public television) they've been running small plugs for PBSkids.org. I didn't actually even know that Soren heard it enough or understand enough to want to do it. But then he asked while I was on the computer..."Mom, can I do PBSkids.org?"
It is actually really awesome. They have all sorts of age appropriate games based on the popular public TV shows. He's really been taken by a few of the Teletubbies games (I'm not even sure he's seen the show) and one of the Caillou games. It is so amazing to watch a three year old clicking around using a mouse. But he loves it!
So, there you have it. Now he's entered the full meaning of screen time.
