Limiting your child’s fire time: A guide for concerned Paleolithic Parents
Those of you struggling with the “how many hours should I let my kid play electronic games” question, remember that our parents struggled with the “how many hours should I let my kids watch TV” question. They lost. We will, too. And both generations will end up with brains turned to mush.

Truly, literally, LOL.
