[quote=Anonymous]What does your kid like to do?   We've had zero issues with Roblox and Minecraft.  But we don't allow computer video games when he has friends over.  Sometimes they play Madden or a FIFA game on DH's old PlayStation.

He's happy being outside for hours on end throwing a football around or kicking a soccer ball.  We also have a tetherball, basketball hoop, and some other outdoor activities.  Or they play games inside.

Sometimes they go to arcades, trampoline parks, mini golf, etc.   Once every other weekend DS meets up with friends at a local park and they play board games and run around.

Don't manufacturer his friendships. What does he say when you ask him if he wants to invite a friend over?   What does he enjoy doing?  Just let him invite friends over and then stay out of it.  They will figure out ways to entertain themselves.  Heck my 13 year old DS had friends over last weekend and they dug out his old toy soldiers and army set up and staged this whole elaborate game.
