[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]House rules currently are only on the weekends and after structured activities. But my 2nd grader thinks and talks about gaming all the time. 
Who are the best advice givers out there on how much gaming is appropriate? Good books or substacks on this? 
DS gets good grades, does sports but could be reading more andI fear games rewire the brain for short attention spans and all those things. [/quote]

Based on the posters here there are a lot of kids with adhd and video games are not the issue.

Who says he should be reading more?  How did you come to that conclusion?   His grades are good, how more verification do you need that he’s academically doing what he needs to do in the second grade?   
I only know that my family members and their friends who lived for video games as kids are all now in college doing well.  The even older ones are working and still play games to relax.  I’m sure you’ll get the cross bearing ladies who see games as the devil but they aren’t.

I’d worry about making it forbidden fruit.  [/quote]
