[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of people confidently saying rubbish so I thought I would add my data point.

My son is not allowed videogames and has had no difficulty finding friends who have other interests too (sports primarily). He is a high achiever at school, socializes in person with family/friends and a committed athlete, there is simply no time for videogames. [/quote]

How old?  There are a lot of posters on here who claim their kids are "too busy" to play games.  Are your kids that overscheduled that they have no free time?  The OP's kid is 9.  If the answer is realy that we need to overload the elementary schoolers with activities so they don't have time for screentime, I'm not sure that's healthy either.

OP, I don't proclaim to have the answer except that many of us are trying to navigate it.  DD had little interest in video games except the occasional Mario Kart while younger DS likes them more.  Kids in his class were having Minecraft themed parties in kindergarten so it starts young.[/quote]
