Hi-
Big lurker here. Hope I can chime in. Our DD8 is a huge video game addict. Like some of your kids, she would play round the clock if we let her (she's currently into DS pokemon, but also has had long obsessions w Mario, Dragonquest, zelda, Spore). Online it's fantage, wizard 101 etc. We have decided not to limit. She doesn't watch tv (her choice), she reads incessantly, plays sports, plays piano and writes her own pieces, gets all As at the gifted school, and has many friends and many interests. I'm not really convinced that EG/PG kids like these are that affected by video games. Mine has claimed since age 3 that she's going to design video games. I believe her. So she goes to ID tech camp in summers and takes video game design/programming. At least it's something productive
. If she weren't doing all those other things, I'd be more concerned-
Great topic! -Jennifer
