Like newt I am a teen right now. When I was a kid my parents wouldn't try and force us outside, they would rather just tell us that we should do something else. I can really explain it but... i mean, I guess its just a generational gap because before my best friend moved away him his brother his two sisters my sister and me would always be outside.
When they first got sega we would play for maybe an hour at a time and his mom would just say no more sega...
I guess its different because i really wasn't an abid TV watcher, and still watch barely any TV.
You are doing all the right things... limiting their time and such, but you have got to find SOME way of making the outdoors seem fun. I mean, do you have A/C in the house? If worst comes to worst turn it off. Have bbq's frequently and eat outside. Take them to parks for hours where they CANT go back inside.
