You're welcome. I really enjoy your work!

That is always wonderful to hear. Thanks again :)

I battled initially about technology, but I eventually let go to let them decide, and it has worked well for us. It took time, but I did learn to really and truly let go of trying to control it. Even though my 5 and 4 yos have total free access to media and technology, they almost always choose other forms of play. It's the power struggle, I think, that sucks them in. My 19 and 15 yos for sure have better things to do.

Sounds pretty much like my son - he loves his technology but he balances it very well of his own accord as he loves imaginative play as well as sports.
