Suggestions & Strategies
Purpose of PlayLimit
PlayLimit allows busy parents a simple and convenient way of limiting the time their
children spend in front of a TV. Study after study has shown that too much TV is bad for
children. Even educational video games and programs, if not restricted, can reduce a
children’s ability to think and learn for themselves.
How can PlayLimit help? Simple. By giving kids tokens for a certain time period, parents
set a definite limit on how much TV they can watch. What’s more, the tokens empower
kids to manage their own time, so parents no longer have to be the “time’s up!” police.
Once children understand their TV limits, parents can encourage other activities such as
reading, drawing, and sports to fill the void. And that’s the ultimate purpose of PlayLimit
— to be a positive experience for both parents and children.
Introducing PlayLimit to Your Kids
PlayLimit is quite flexible — you can be as strict or as lenient as you want. But regardless
of your approach, you should talk with your kids about PlayLimit before installing it.
Demostrate how PlayLimit works and explain how you intend for them to use PlayLimit
to access video game and/or TV viewing time. There are two basic approaches:
• Tokens as an Allowance. Give your children a certain amount of tokens over a given
time period. For example, four tokens per day. In this case, the children would know
that they have only one hour per day for TV time. If they would like to play a video
game for two hours, they would have to save tokens for two days.
