Thanks for sharing the link to the article. It eases some of my concerns. I was worried that I was too strict or old-fashioned, I told my son that I wouldn't even discuss him having a TV in his room until he was 13 at least (he's 7 now) and we only have a ten year old video game system that's he's rarely allowed to play on. So I'll keep tolerating the moans and groans when I declare a no TV night and force the little darlings to play cards or other games with their mean old mommy. With my two being so young, it's nice to know it'll all work out in the long run.

As for the goth thing, I could handle that far easier than my nearly 4 year old's obsession with pink. She's such a girly-girl, and I never was, so I have no clue how to deal with it... lol.
