[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]YES! Especially if you have a boy. They relate to other boys by talking about video games they play. Just restrict the time they're allowed on it (set timers to remind you to turn it off!) and use it as an incentive to get school work done.[/quote] Me again... [b]we also tell our kids that if they act up when we turn it off, we won't let them back on it for a week[/b]. Usually stops that behavior quick.[/quote] We do this. No whining if they say they can't play it, no attitude when it gets turned off or they lose it. It certainly can be addictive, but honestly you could teach her strategies to handle that kind of thing down the road (set limits, determine how to have a good transition, etc.). Our whole family plays it and it's super fun![/quote]
