"Tokens for TV" Plugs Families Into a Better Quality of LifeReleased on = June 3, 2005, 7:22 am Press Release Author = Lisa Workman Industry = Entertainment Press Release Summary = Tokens for TV:A Sensible Approach to Balancing Television, Video Game and Computer Activities. This new eBook provides families with a practical tool to help monitor and choose television and computer time. Press Release Body = Television. Video games. Computers. The Internet. With all of this electronic entertainment surrounding our kids, how do we get our kids “unplugged?” In answer to this question, Lisa Workman developed Tokens for TV, a system that she used to teach her kids how to manage their television and computer time. “My kids were either watching TV or playing on the computer. Once I told them to turn one off, they would move to the other. Nagging, pleading, demanding and ordering didn’t work. My children were ignoring their responsibilities, whining and trying to put off what they didn’t want to do,” says Lisa. “Something had to change. I was tired of being a broken record and nothing was getting done.” In an effort to help her children make better media choices, she came up with the Tokens for TV program. “Our kids were just tuning in because it was easier than doing anything else. We wanted them to make better choices with their electronic entertainment. We wanted them to learn how to make better choices and monitor how much time they spent watching TV or playing games.” After finding success with her own children, she shared it with friends and family. When they were able to use the system successfully, she wrote it down in what is now the Tokens for TV eBook. Tokens for TV
gives parents and their children the tools they need to learn how
to manage and choose content from today’s many electronic
media offerings. The Tokens for TV program allows children to be
an active participant in what they watch and how much and helps
parents get out of the role of nagging their kids to turn off the
TV or video game system. This unique program can be used as it is
