Santa brought my 6 year old son a DS for Christmas. I'm about ready to mail it back to Santa! It's great to bribery, but it's such a power struggle. I have to tell him he can't play it, take it, etc. It's such a pain. I'm not going to be a mom who lets him become a zombie. I thought oh this will be so great to keep him busy when we are in the car or when I'm running. (I go for 5 mile runs, so he still comes in his Bob b/c I can't expect him to run that long and I need that time to zen out). But... I want him to enjoy the sights of the surroundings when I run. I want him to be able to sit in the car and look out the window. But... we are doing Disney in December and I will be happy to have it on the plane!
Maybe a Wii won't be so bad as it's not portable like a DS. So... I think it's good and bad. I definitely am already tired of having to restrict it, but I'm glad he has something to talk about with his little friends.
