[quote=Anonymous]DS is 8 and has been doing pretty well so far. I set up a checklist of things he needs to do each day before he can play video games or watch TV. Some days he does it all quickly, and some days it takes him longer. We walk the dog every morning and sometimes his friends are outside so we stop to chat (we stay on the sidewalk, they are on their front porch), but he seems pretty happy so far. We are doing a Zoom with a lot of his friends this afternoon, so we'll see how that goes. He sees kids playing together outside and at the playground and has asked why they're doing that since that isn't safe, so I've had to repeat the "different households, different rules" thing a lot.

He's pretty independent, but when he wants to play outside he asks me or DH to play with him. We play horse or throw a baseball or a football around right behind our house. It's a nice break and gets me outside more so I don't mind. I need to figure out what gaming systems his friends have so he can play games with them on chat. We have the Switch, but I didn't realize how terrible for chatting it is. I may splurge and buy him a different one so that he can connect with friends more often that way. [/quote]
