Good way to start fighting this. I believe we really need to get back to those days where parents say "it's a nice day...go outside and play" like they did when I was younger. My daughter couldn't keep herself in the house even on rainy days she would head outside. We didn't have a TV until she was 4 and by that time, she had no interest in just sitting. Since surgery, I try to stay away from the TV and keep moving around even if just in the house.
