[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents did not let us play any video games at all, only educational computer games. My cousins' parents let them play unlimited video games practically from birth. Is it a coincidence that both my cousins are still living at home bachelors in their 30s?
I let my kids play Mario, Minecraft, Pokemon for 1 hour a day. I did not purchase Roblox because it looks creepy to me. More importantly, I have banned the watching of Youtube videos of guys playing video games because there was too much weirdness. We actually had to remove Youtube from the TV to get them to stop watching.
This works for my particular kids; every family is different. Don't let a bunch of DCUM cool moms tell you you're being lame. If your kid needs a break, give him a break and get him doing something outside. My kids' social lives don't seem to be suffering.[/quote]

My DH played video games his entire childhood. He’s now a millionaire and started designing software. The issue is when kids are deprived completely of anything they will end up finding a way to sneak it behind your back or go to extremes with it. For example, my kids have no interest in junk food because we keep it in the house and it’s not forbidden or a novelty to them so they are bored of it. Everything in moderation is always the key.[/quote]

+1. They are shut out socially when they don’t play the most popular games for their age group because that is what the kids do together at playdates. [/quote]
