He finally got to buy his PS3 system today and he's thrilled. SB,that is. After drafting rules himself about the proper usage of this game system, we agreed that as long as he keeps his grades up (and that means studying for and passing tests with a B or higher) he can play unhindered. There are rules in place that says he is to go forth . . . outside and play with real people more than he can sit on his tush inside with cyberbots. Period.
We got home and some of his friends came around . . . he went straight out to meet them, leaving the system in the bag.
I am truly pleased he chose living breathing people over the newness of the games he just bought.

so glad he did.
those things can be so dang toxic.
you know i struggle with that with my boys.
the funny thing that the newness has sort of worn off for now.
i kept saying no to my littlest one. and finally he hasn't even asked to "play" for about a week now. he's been outside chopping trees. playing guns and swords. planting seeds, etc. real stuff. not virtual crap.
it is so hard for kids these days to avoid all the things that vy for their attention.
it is hard enough for us...
