With the kids home from school in the summer time, they'll have a lot of free time. The weather isn't always perfect, and the kids will often get tired of playing outside - so there needs to be things to do to fill the time gaps. TV and video games always seem to be an option.

Moms, dads, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community will have a new resource for questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians and the thousands of other issues that arise while raising children. 

Grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today with this week's question below. Share your answers in our comment section.

How do you figure out the right amount of TV time for your child? Toddlers? Tweens? Teens? What do you do in your home to regulate TV (and video game) time?
