[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry if this isn't what you want to hear, but I think 1-2 hours is too long for a 7-year-old. I don't know where I read this, but I think 40 minutes max for this age. I bet there are also kids at school who have limits; you just might not know who they are yet. To hear my 9-year-old son tell of it, all his friends have Nintendo Switches, but this is patently untrue (just like my 12-year-old says everyone at school has an iPhone--oh, everyone but the 5 people I can easily name?) What about some movie/tv time instead of video games? Less risk that they will get so drawn into that dopamine hit, and you still get a little downtime. For other activities, you can read to your kid, bake, make an obstacle course in the living room, go to Ninja Warrior class, or someplace with an open gym....We live in an area with lots of activities for kids through the local parks (Montgomery County, eg.) You can find something! [/quote]
