[quote=Anonymous]Agree it depends on age, weather, etc. I have a 9 year old boy, and really, playing Wii with friends is one of the ways they play. Most of the games are interactive (e.g., they are trying to find something to defeat the X), so I think it counts as playing. I don't let them just watch videos. I try to limit the video game playing to 30 minutes, or maybe 45. I never had video games as a kid, but I think my husband played Atari for hours with his friends at that age. I have girls too, and it seems like less of an issue with the girls. (They sometimes do Wii, but the girls seem to expect it a lot less than the boys do, and have an easier time coming up with other games to play.) I'd like for that not to be a gender difference in play, but I can't really reformulate the whole neighborhood's gender dynamics.[/quote]
