Addie's Masterpiece

So, I was searching through conference talks on lds.org about raising children in the gospel of Christ, when Addie came in to show me her marker creation...



And...in case anyone else needs motivation in the "too much tv" area...
Research data indicate that families that limit television viewing to a maximum of two hours a day of carefully selected programs may see the following significant changes in family relationships:

1. Value setting will be taught and reinforced by the family. Families will learn how to establish values and how to reason together.
2. Relationships between parents and youth will increase in families.
3. Homework will be completed with less pressure of time.
4. Personal conversations will increase substantially.
5. Children’s imaginations will come back to life.
6. Each family member will become a discriminating selector and evaluator of programs.
7. Parents can become family leaders again.
8. Good reading habits may be substituted for television viewing.
