My son wants to watch movies on the I-Pad, but the most I let him watch is 20 minutes to half hour after a shower and the light is dimly lit on it so its alright.

That gets him right off to sleep, but most times it's a story we read to whine down. He looks forward to that and although I sometimes want to forego the bedtime reading, I forge on and end up being glad I did!
