My DS4 loves playing games on the Kindle and watching TV. I swear he'd do nothing else if he could. It bothers me that he can't seem to find anything more interesting to do, since I'm not really a game/tv person.
His game time is currently limited to an hour. There is constant asking/whining about watching tv or playing games.
I've tried using "tickets" so that he can break up playing/watching into smaller chunks. I've tried taking a complete media break, thinking that he'd get over it, but it didn't work. I've tried letting game/tv be completely available, thinking that he'd get bored of them (this would be my preferred method), but he just doesn't seem to get bored of them.
Ideally, I'd like him to find something that's more compelling than the games/tv, but haven't been able to so far. I don't think it would bother me as much if the tv he watched was strictly educational, or if the games he was playing were more like Dreambox. But I can't seem to find a way to limit just the "fun" games.
Anyone have a kid like this and have you found techniques that work?
