Time OUT

Scraping burnt chicken off a skillet is easier than getting kids off today’s video and computer games. Enter the Time Scout, a device that allows parents to control kid’s game or TV time. The Time Scout connects between your AC outlet and a TV, PC or video game machine. Parents enter time limits into the device in 30 minute intervals by swiping the parent card. Your kid has his/her own credit card that reads and responds to the limits that parents have placed on it. $90; www.time-scout.com
