[quote=Anonymous]My 8.5 year old plays Minecraft and Sneaky Sasquatch. That's it. Minecraft on an iPad and SS through the Apple video games. I was certainly playing more violent games growing up in the 80s. We limit it to about 30 minutes during the week if his homework and chores are done. He gets more time many weekends, depending on what we have planned. He would play and watch TV for DAYS if we let him. So we limit it and redirect him. He's currently doing origami - he's permitted to Google instructions on his iPad. He chats with his friends about these two video games. He bonded with a 13 year old cousin last week - those are his two favorite games, too. It's definitely helpful for him socially. We held off on both until this school year. He's a responsible kid and it's important to learn limits and self-control. [/quote]
