[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 532052, member: 11791"] Why not? My kids don't have it, never have... and never will as long as they live under our roof. Because... we don't have it, and don't want it for ourselves. But... you have two problems (we had one). Having started it, how do you now cut it off? (can't answer that one...) And what will you do instead? And that's a challenge, because it's just you and J. So... how to keep him occupied, at stuff that doesn't require YOUR full-time involvement? Because, if you can solve this one with good enough stuff, the other might become mostly a moot point. Hmmm... in that case, is it partly a scheduling issue? Not totally, because... J wants more and more and more of this high-energy stuff. Its addictive, too. But the neuromotor control effort, plus the sensory inputs, plus good old fashioned tiredness... don't add up to easy transitions. UGH! You can't do it first, you can't do it last, and you can't not do it. [/QUOTE]
