[quote=Anonymous]I have a littler kid in 1st grade, but we allow gaming time during the week up to 1 hour per day. Of course this does not interfere with homework, because there is no homework and our child is not in aftercare so 1 hour doesn't amount to much. I don't plan on restricting this stuff to weekends only because that seems overly strict. Your child is 11. Can you try to see if he is more responsible? Maybe tell him that starting this weekend, he needs to help decide what a reasonable limit is. Ask him to log when he plays games, and look at the results together on Sunday night. Ask him if he thinks it's too much. See if he tries to police it himself. He may be able to play 30 minutes each weeknight after he finishes his homework, and that may curb his urgency. It may surprise you![/quote]
