The day I hooked up a computer in the kitchen was a big turning point in my family kitchen — not sure for the better or worse. It’s a constant struggle (for both parents and kids in my house) to resist its gravitational pull. Sometimes when I’m cooking I’ll let them go on and play Spore or Cooking Mama, but now I may just turn them over to Fizzy’s Lunch Lab. It’s from PBS and features animated shorts, printable recipes, and some interactive games that guide children towards making smarter food choices. Basically guilt-free gaming and they actually come away with ideas for dinner! My kind of screen time.
