Mine doesn't spend her screen time on Grand Theft Auto etc. She is fairly constructive and finds an outlet for many of her pursuits, like writing, she has written fan fiction for a Harry Potter site. She has also posted some of her art on 'deviantart.com'. I find I don't need to limit screen time as she is so creative. Of course I could live without Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance, but those are just good fun so I don't worry. 82% average in high school really puts all my fears aside. Unfortunatly 'screen time' can become an escape and a real time waster for some. Kind of like beer for me.

hehehe... I sent someone a link once, during an art discussion, to some female nudes, oil paintings, on deviantart. He assumed they were porn links. LOL.
