[quote=Anonymous]I’d be fine with skipping organized activities, but not if the alternative is hours of screen time every day. They can choose between activities or self-directed non-screen hobbies at home, or chores. But I would definitely implement limits on the video games. We actually have the opposite problem, 13yo wants to do everything and is totally exhausted. We keep talking to him about narrowing things down, but he doesn’t want to give anything up. Grades are still good, so not pushing it too hard yet, but it’s painful to see him dragging so hard every morning. But kids have to learn how to balance their discretionary time. Overdoing anything - screens or anything else - isn’t healthy.[/quote]
