[quote=Anonymous]3 kids, oldest is a 12 year old boy. 2 girls - ages 10 and 7. I was just like you. Then the pandemic hit. I still didn't allow video games. What I came to find out was that once boys hit a certain age, they socialize over video games. They get on calls and sometimes play games, but other times they just talk, show funny videos, show rubix cubes, and do other fun stuff. Of course, they see each other in school and get together outside of school. But a big part of boys' lives is video games. I am sure your husband can tell you this. So I totally get at age 8 not allowing them. He will survive. But once they hit 6th/7th grade, it is what the boys are doing. Girls.... so much more annoying. Will just sit on a cell phone for hours doing nothing. I would much prefer to limit cell phones than gaming - esp interactive ones they can play together like Minecraft.[/quote]
