[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't do XBox/Playstation type games in our home (went to school with too many people who went from promising student to barely there wash-outs because of video game addiction)  but we do allow Minecraft and a few kid friendly Ipad games. If the homework is done and academics are on track, there can be time for a little fun.  The kids lose iPad privileges if they start getting too worked up when it's time to shut 'er down. [/quote]

I don't really understand your logic.  It's clear that you have rules about when they can play on the ipad so why wouldn't you apply those same rules to a gaming system.

We have both an xbox and a wii.   No gaming during the week but he can play on the weekend.

I hope you realise the people you talk about who " went from promising student to barely there wash-outs because of video game addiction" ended up this way b/c of how their parents monitored (or didn't monitor the habit).

Many people have food additions but I am sure you still have food in your house.  What you describe sounds like this to me.

I don't want my kids to develop a sweets addiction so we don't keep ice cream in the house BUT we have a mini fridge with ice cream and as a treat when all their work is done we let them have some ice cream from the mini fridge.
