Sometimes, when no one is looking, I turn off the TV as well as the computer. I remind the GK's that they have marvelous brains that with a little encouragement will likely bring about ideas for exciting non-electronic play. Oh sure they balk a little but with some sweet encouragement from their loving grandmother "Don't let that door hit you in the $ss on your way out!" They are soon involved with activities that do not require downloading, updowning or sidewinding.
I hope they will one day forgive me my cruel and should be more usual behavior.
