There is so much judgement surrounding how much media kids can participate in.  In our family we don't let our kids watch any TV or use the computer.  They have cousins with DSs and Wii and a huge supply of movies.  After we spend time with the cousins my boys ask for those things.  We have a hard time explaining why we do not particpate in that sort of media without sounding judgemental.  I want my kids to understand why we don't let them play/watch without judging those who do.
