    My son (almost 7) begs to go on the computer, but it does something weird to him... after even a short amount of time (say, half an hour) on even an educational website, he becomes strangely delirious, overexcited, pupils dilated, unmoored.

    I just have this instinct that it's really really bad for him--

    does anyone else have this experience?

    I've noticed less cooperation with DD7&5 after they've watched TV or played on the computer, so I limit their screen time.
