I completely understand! These tactics are always hard to put off. HOWEVER, I do think its really good for them to learn to play alone, in a confined space. I've tried "Room Time" which isn't always successful, but I think that is mostly my fault--I wasn't consistent w/ it when the kids were younger, so they didn't get used to it, and think of it more like a punishment. But might be something you can try, at a certain time every day, (you can start w/ shorter time-periods and move up) and it just becomes part of their routine!

The question is did you accomplish what you set out to do?
