The iPad Rules

Because Alice loves the iPad so much and was instantly addicted, we had to set clear rules for when she can be on it.

Weekends
1. In the mornings before we get up.
2. After her nap, unless the neighbors are outside playing, then she should go outside instead.

Weekdays
3. In the mornings after she is completely ready for school.
4. In the evening while I am cooking supper if her homework is already done.

These boundaries work pretty well and are generally designed to make our life easier by motivating her to get through breakfast quicker on weekdays and by keeping her busy in the evenings when we're trying to get supper ready.
