[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really, really easy to avoid at 7. Not so easy around 11-12 and on. Just don’t have the system in your home and enjoy the next few years while you can. [/quote]

This just isn't true.  We have a switch and a ps5.  Tweens/teens play maybe 2 hours a month.  They are busy with friends,  activities,  homework.  [b]Video games are for kids with no friends and nothing to do, not the other way around[/b].[/quote]

Come on, now. [/quote]

I grew up in the late 80s and 90s.  We all watched tons of TV and played video games non-stop.  Nintendo was essentially our babysitter while my parents worked.  I don't allow my kids unlimited screen time.

Since I restrict screen time i do spend a lot of time entertaining my kids.  We always have a friend over or are doing a non screen activity to keep them entertained, innshape and not begging for screens. Op, your kids are young.  What are you doing to keep their attention on something  else?

Once they get ti middle school the fight is over.  Boys socialize with each other via video games.  [/quote]
