West is a bit like me; he can get hooked on a mania, but it never lasts too long. I've spent many nights without sleep over tetris, boppit, crossword puzzles, the rubic's cube, mind sweep and the like. But once I conquer, I clear out. I like the idea of making him pay for his time with extra piano etc. I'm really looking forward to your family's Christmas card this year. They are always soooo cute.Prudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14163107781644008543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1262517653358371042.post-27969048642513047752009-11-07T09:36:55.302-08:002009-11-07T09:36:55.302-08:00Hey E- We got Nate a PSP(similar to a DS) for his...Hey E- We got Nate a PSP(similar to a DS) for his birthday. We just set limits on its usage, he has to ask first and usually has to do an extra set of piano playing or a second interval of reading or math. That being said we are very pro video game ourselves, if you remember correctly I grew up playing atari and gaming on my apple IIe, it did not rot my brain and I think I have excellent hand eye coordination.<br />It really depends on your childs personality as well, is he obsessive compulsive? If so no gaming.<br /><br />Congrats! on the contest, you must be very proud.<br />WendyWendyfmckinleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01951564814816085005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1262517653358371042.post-45662218400311427812009-11-06T18:48:41.069-08:002009-11-06T18:48:41.069-08:00That is so cool!!!

It also serves as a good threat - threaten to take away the video games and he starts to walk a pretty straight line. As with TV, kids will only watch so much of it until the urge to run is too great. He will voluntarily turn off the games and ask to go play in the backyard with his little sis.Mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126337527318644833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1262517653358371042.post-7896995698507238152009-11-06T14:22:32.325-08:002009-11-06T14:22:32.325-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126337527318644833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1262517653358371042.post-82079958700113763172009-11-06T12:37:09.321-08:002009-11-06T12:37:09.321-08:00Congrats to him!

I am a recovering game addict and I'll tell you that the only reason that happens is because there's some kind of basic unfulfilled need: socially, emotionally, spiritually. He's well enough educated to find pleasure in many different interests. Plus, as someone else said, it's what he likes, so be understanding. My mom always tied video games directly to music practicing. So my brother ended up doing at least 2 hours of violin a day. Now he's a concert violinist and has great friendships that happen to involve gaming. Not a bad way to go.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12009337418031451142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1262517653358371042.post-62221656704920287292009-11-06T08:11:21.793-08:002009-11-06T08:11:21.793-08:00Love the wrapper.

He forgets about it for weeks at a time, so enforcement is not really a problem. It IS handy, however, to be able to say "If you don't (whatever), I'm putting your game system away for a week, mister." It only took the first time...Worth it? Meh, sure. It wasn't the Pandora's Box I worried it would be.crabigail adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06429347569027095890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1262517653358371042.post-30829452972834150922009-11-05T20:59:20.964-08:002009-11-05T20:59:20.964-08:00Congrats to Westy boy!

They have very few games as most were also birthday and christmas gifts with a few hand me downs from their cousins. I think that has made a difference. Not buying them every game they want makes them appreciate the ones they have. Luckily they would both rather be drawing or reading anyway. It is handy to bring on long trips or if we're going somewhere that they have to sit and wait. And if it becomes a problem you could always just put it away for awhile.Rachelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1262517653358371042.post-75739265336304169802009-11-05T14:06:34.321-08:002009-11-05T14:06:34.321-08:00Perhaps true.
