[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We still do not allow screens when friends come over, and lately whenever my son has friends over they complain a lot about being bored.  My standard reply is "do you want me to take you home?" to which they usually reply "no!" and manage to find something to do.  But I'm curious - what do your 9 year old boys do on playdates that is not screen related, if they are not playing outside?  My son and his friends used to play a lot of board games, but lately they don't seem so interested.  Laser tag guns were a hit for a while, but now are boring too.  Same with air hockey table.  and Legos.  Sigh.  [/quote]

You won't like to hear this but they play x-box.  Then they get bored and run around the house, go outside for a while, come back in and play more x-box. [/quote]

OP here - I am realizing that our "no screen" policy is probably going to have to end soon.  My 14 year old nephew does nothing but play video games when his friends come over.  I realize that's pretty normal.  [/quote]
