everyone keeps telling me to do a room theme but i dont want one. I want a unique room (like a plant room , piano room, etc.) does anyone have any ideas ?
well webkinz isnt like club penguin, you cant really design it in a lot of different themes. If you go on club penguin, you can ask your mom or dad for a membership and you have a lot of different designs to choose from. the membership for a month is
I submitted a comment earlier but I’m kind of glad it got lost. It wasn’t very nice.
Anyway.. I have spent my life working with children. From babysitting to working in daycare/Montessori to working in child protective services. Not to mention being involved in homeschooling. I believe, 100 percent that there is a cause and effect between ANY screen time and short attention spans. This is proven time and time again in regards to studies about TV watching and now with studies about video games. I believe the younger a child starts the more damage it does to the brain. What Lori said is true. TV and video games stimulate the brain constantly. No wonder a child who spends a great deal of time playing and watching has a difficult time being stimulated by books or by playing a board game.
Like anything else, I think moderation is the key. I have friends who are very disciplined about their children’s “screen time”. These kids spend the majority of their time in thought provoking and physical activities and occasionally play video games. They are calm, interesting and fun to be around. I have one friend whose two boys have never owned any sort of video game. Their computer time is very limited and they watch educational videos and watch an entertaining movie or show about 2 hrs per week. Those kids are AMAZING. They are never, ever bored. They play and build and read and discover constantly. You just can’t look at them and think that their behaviors and creativity have nothing to do with their lack of artificial stimulation. Still they are obsessed with playing games at other’s houses, so, time will tell if they go off the deep end one day from their mom’s extreme views on this subject. I really don’t think so, though.
