Everything in moderation! But many kids don't know the meaning of that word.

Back in the day, I had to take the Atari (yeah, that OLD!) and puter games away from my kids, and lock them up in a basement cabinet. Too much fighting and bickering between them. No chores or homework getting done. Missed family meals. And you might recall I had to resort to shutting off the electricity to my youngest son's bedroom to stop the gaming on family holidays. His online router has since been moved to my office now. It's easy to just 'unplug' him if I get any back talk about social, family, and school obligations not being met. (My house... my rules!)

Gaming ~can~ become a problem if left unsupervised and uncontrolled. Games ARE fun for recreation and relaxation. I have some hand-held ones myself. But when they become an addiction, intervention is necessary.
