[quote=Anonymous]It drives me nuts-- but he is only 10 and is getting good grades and overall is still a good kid, but I feel like he would spend hours on it every day if I didn't restrict it.  Part of me thinks I should just let it go and not restrict it as long as he is getting work down etc.  Like it is actually beneficial for him to learn to limit his time without me forcing it on him.  I recall that my parents were very strict about computer game time-- which was great in the sense that I instead read a lot of books-- but maybe not so good because when I went to college I became totally immersed by "free cell" and unable to see the addiction for what it was.

So I'm struggling-- do I do nothing and trust that he will come around on his own-- and better to learn this lesson early rather than late in life?  Or do I tell him that he has to establish a limit and I will impose consequencies if he goes beyond it?  I'm leaning towards the second, with a generous dose of redirecting him towards other things in life beyond clash of clans.  [/quote]
