No restrictions here for DS7, but by his nature he is fairly self-regulating. He typically gravitates towards things where he learns like Ruff Ruffman and CyberChase, but it is a rare day that he isn't actively engaged in an activity or conversation related to what's on TV. We all watch cooking competition shows together and a random fiction series here and there.

To Michaela's question on the play while watching rule: the thing that disturbs me with some kids is the way they seem to just have an off switch on their mind when the TV is on. Maybe on only while playing is a check on making sure the kids aren't being shutdown in zombie-watch mode.
