[quote=Anonymous]Yes we allow it, and the only time we have to set up a limit is when the friend has no/limited screen time at home. Those kids don't want to do anything else. Maybe their parents restrict them because they can't self regulate, or maybe they can't self regulate because they haven't had a chance to learn. I don't know. My kids get bored with those kids, though, so they are less frequent invites. I actually like what I see/hear when the kids are playing video games. They talk and negotiate just as much as they do when they are playing with legos or a game outside. They figure out strategies to make the game "fair" if one of them is less experienced, and there is a lot of problem solving. They definitely aren't "zoning out". I would much rather have them play a video game than watch a movie or something. [/quote]
