[quote=Anonymous]When Ds was in ES we allowed 30 minutes of video games a day during the week and an hour on the weekend. He only played video games when he didn’t have other things to do. He selected a bunch of after school clubs, a sport, and Scouts as activities. There were plenty of days that he just didn’t have time for video games. We would stop at the park walking home from school, he would stay after school for a club, he would have baseball practice or a Scout meeting. He enjoyed those things so he didn’t mind not playing video games.

He plays more as a MS student but still only when there is time. He selected several clubs after school, plays a rec sport, and is still in Scouts. Those keep him busy enough that most days he doesn’t have time for video games.

I would be concerned if he was saying he didn’t want to do other things to play video games, but that hasn’t happened. It might happen, kids can change, but we have not had that happen yet. And yes, he and his friends talk video games all the time. You would think he plays hours on end but he doesn’t. [/quote]
