There was once a time when television and video games didn’t exist. That’s a little hard to imagine in this day and age, but there was a lot more playing outside and running around for kids. Nowadays you’ll need a crow bar to pry them away from a screen. When one form of entertainment stops existing, kids will make up a new one. If you want them to chill out from the tube, there is a way to prevent them from sneaking in more TV time.

It may seem a little drastic, but the StoPower Plug Lock will make sure that no one can get side tracked with electronics. This will cost you $15, and can halt excessive TV or computer use, or prevent accidents by locking up power tools. While your kids may hate you for getting one, it will be one of those things they appreciate years down the road…hopefully. You will literally be locking up the plug, so don’t go losing the key.
