Parents Can Stop Pulling Their Hair Out Over Computer Use
Getting kids to take a break from the computer to do other important things is a constant struggle for parents. The latest release of ComputerTime changes all of that by effectively eliminating those conflicts and restoring peace, and it's easy.
Branford, Conn. (Vocus/PRWEB ) November 11, 2008 -- Getting kids to take a break from the computer to do other important things is a constant struggle for parents. The latest release of ComputerTime changes all of that by effectively eliminating those conflicts and restoring peace, and it's easy.
Kids easily lose track of time when on the computer and see themselves as victims of their parents' arbitrary time constraints: "I haven't been on that long!" or "She had more time than I did. That's not fair!" For years, ComputerTime has provided a simple solution to this problem for parents worldwide. Recently updated, ComputerTime 3.1 introduces the ability to have one set of limits across all computers in the home across a network. Enhanced "Time Token" features let parents print and hand out additional computer time as rewards for good grades or completing chores. Many new options let parents customize ComputerTime for their family's needs.
Parents are concerned about the increased time their kids are spending online. YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, instant messaging and online games consume so much of kids' time. Most parents would prefer to see their kids socializing with others, playing outdoors, contributing around the house, reading books and studying. The obesity epidemic in children today is also a concern of parents; kids need more physical activity. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no more than one to two hours a day in front of screens. Hundreds of experts regularly chime in that limits must be set on kids' computer and Internet use.
ComputerTime works because it sets expectations and enforces limits. Kids know exactly how much time remains, and it reminds them when their time is running out. ComputerTime doesn't listen to arguments either. When time is up, they are off. Mom and Dad are no longer the bad guys. ComputerTime effectively eliminates arguments and restores peace.
"ComputerTime continues to be the single best software purchase that I have ever made. Our kids read more, go outside more and have face-to-face interaction with their friends more simply because they are not glued to the screen. I was so sick of arguing with them about it that I was ready to throw the computer out the back window. Now, peace reigns!
''I recommend your product to many like-minded people." -- Lori B., Lincoln, Nebraska
