But
But what about…
My favourite TV show, the son’s Warcraft game and my husbands’ internet…. yep,..yada yada yada……and your daughter believes the world will collapse if she doesn’t check her Facebook.

Switching Off and Tuning In is about you and your family being the centre of attention.
OK Mum…..back away from the TV…….. Now Peter … put … the … Blackberry … down and we’ll all have a group hug”!
Well, you might not want a group hug right now, but how about a board game – or a tumble with your kids - or some time with your daughter finding out what’s really going on for her at school?
