[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh hi, it's the "buy a book" poster here. Almost missed my chance! Buy her a book instead.[/quote] Second crying poster again... My six year old reads too. She's the youngest and we did wait till our son was ten before he received his game. Now they both play, so I'll be the "we will see what you you say when your kids are older" poster. [/quote] "Buy a book" poster again. My kids [i]are[/i] older -- 10 and 12. The 10 year old has ADHD and some visual tracking issues, and it's really hard to get her to read. The older kid is a good reader but vastly prefers video games. I did cave on a gaming system, much to my regret, but I'm really glad I didn't get them portable gaming systems. One thing I'm learning about older kids is that it's really hard to limit/regulate their electronics use. We have lots of limits etc., but they push and push. So I would really hesitate to start that habit early. [/quote]
