I could have written this post almost word for word. In fact, I was just contemplating this on my drive into work this morning. During the school year, I do not allow video games during the week. On weekends, I typically limit the time to 1 hour per day, but if it is a rainy weekend or something I will allow more (sometimes all day play).

I am trying to figure out what the right balance is for the summer, but I am thinking that no more than 1 hour on most days sounds about right....or maybe an hour in the morning and another hour in the evening?

Oh, and if it is educational, he can play for as long as he wants.
