I will totally be doing this. My son is in school during the mornings so it will be a little different for me too. But the big thing will be no TV or video games.

I hear ya! It is too easy to zone out when tired, overwhelmed, patience running low, chores need doing, or any of a multitude of things a mom faces throughout the day. It is too easy to forget the thing that matters most - quality time with our children. I admire you for your decision to 'detox'. I know you and your family will be blessed beyond measure. allthingszoo.blogspot.com

Amen to that!

Amen to that!

Simplify and you will be blessed.

Eliza, I recieved some of the same negative responses when we did our detox the first time. Be assured that those who know you know that you are a great mother and that M is a very balanced child. Love ya.

I personally think it's a brilliant idea. I will be doing the same, but like previous posters won't be taking away toys. Almost all of my sons toys are skill building/learning toys and we play with them together. My biggest thing is reading to him, I used to read 6-8 books a day to him, and now he's lucky to get one. So more power to parents who want to be more interactive with their

I have been inspired by this idea, though I have thought about it before I have never taken action. Eliza's post came at just the right time. Like Jana, I won't be taking away off of the toys, I don't think that would work for my 3 year old, but I did organize them (again) and move some from the living room to his bedroom. I also have a baby (11 months) so there will be times I need

I am looking forward to starting my own 'detox' tomorrow morning! I will be doing it a bit differently (I don't think I'll pack up all dd's toys etc, as she is in school during the day and I am looking forward to playing WITH her after school), but I will be turning the laptop off between 7:30am and 7:30pm along with the tv. My dd is 6 (ds is only 2months) and is perfectly

honestly I do not see the point of this, yes you want to do things with your children but as much as you want them to know that you are there for them they need to learn to entertain themselves and that the world is not catered to making them happy. some parents have to work while their kids are awake and their kids turn out just fine without constant parental stimulation. do what you want but
