I'm glad that strategy worked out for you. We might try it again at some point. But, evidence so far has shown that our children do not get of bored of playing on the IPad. At all. We could reduce the number of games available on the device, that might help. Also, the fact that the device has Netflix might be a part of the allure - when one digital activity becomes boring, they switch to another.

Thank you for you comment, I realize perhaps the device itself is not the problem but the number of available content.
