No TV's or PC's in the children's bedrooms

One mistake that I made was to put a TV in each of the bedrooms.  If I could raise my children again, they would only have access to TV's in public areas.  The same goes for computers.  My three children are all in their 20's now, but I regret that we didn't spend more time at "family activities". TV's can be an easy babysitter and I realize in today's world, mom's need to make dinner or clean, and it is easy to put children to in front of the TV to entertain them.  But at least they should be in the kitchen or family room with you so that you can monitor their TV programs.  And by not having the TV in their bedroom,  it encourages them to read before bedtime.  Early reading helps them to do better in school and establishes a love of reading that will last a lifetime.
