Moms Talk: Go Outside!

This weekly column focuses on discussion. We'll have one topic or question, and we'll talk.

It's summer. School is out (or nearly out). Kids aren't waking up super early, maybe staying up a little later. No more homework. Probably a summer vacation or two, but for the most part, they are sticking around the house, hanging with friends.

But with the invention of video game consoles, home computers and 300 plus cable channels, getting kids out side seems to be harder now than ever before. So, how do you deal with that? Do you regulate video game, computer and TV time? Do you tell them to go outside, play ball, ride a bike or catch bugs?

How do you get the kids out of the house during the summer?
