[quote=Anonymous]I made a huge tactical error and bought my almost 8yo Wii as a housewarming present when we moved a couple of months ago. He gorged on it for a few weeks while we struggled with unpacking and settling in. We have limits now - no screens during the week and he has to earn it on the weekends (reading, exercise, math workbook) but the problem is that he moans and groans about any family activity that tears him away from his earned screentime. Even playdates require heated negotiations over Wii vs. other activities. Would love ANY suggestions about engaging 8-yo boys in other outdoor activities. We already do soccer and try to do a hike or other outing as a family at least once a weekend. But he spends the whole time itching to get home! :([/quote]
