[quote=Anonymous]DS is 9 and has been allowed to play video games, with time limits, since he was 4, Right now he is playing a marble building game on Steam. He plays Minecraft, Mario games, and some others that we allow. He has a limit of an hour a day. The only time he actually hits that is on the weekend and even then not every weekend. Yesterday he didn’t play video games at all, we had other things going on. He does a rec sport, Scouts, and RSM classes. When the weather is nice, he comes home from school, drops his bag off, and goes to his friends house with the basketball hoop and plays. He comes home and does his homework. He might go back out to his friends house or he might play a video game. He knows that we will restrict video games if he is upset about not getting enough screen time. His grades are excellent, he choses to do extra math, and he is out playing with friends. We are happy with the balance.[/quote]
