How do you raise Happy, Healthy Children?

    Soon after purchasing our 1st Playstation i realized this little box was a part time babysitter. The kids could sit for hours in front of the tv playing their games. I wondered if maybe this was a mistake.

Am i spending enough quality time with my children? Do I allow them to spend too much time in front of the tv? Are the shows they watch and the games they play helping them grow in positive, healthy directions? Are they enjoying plenty of outdoor fun?

 Do  kids even go outside and play any more? In the days before every home had 3 tvs and an assortment of gaming options, children tended to head outdoors on hot Summer days.
