DS7 was totally addicted to video games. Originally he was allowed to play for about 20 minutes on a school day. Then we cut it back to weekends only. Cut it again to just Saturdays because he was having such a difficult time transitioning to school on Mondays after playing for hours on Sunday. Finally we took them away completely. It really had become an addiction. When he wasn't playing them he was strategizing on how to beat certain levels. In school that's all he'd write about during journal time and in his free time he'd draw pictures of the characters. I have to say he has become a lot more focused and "with it" since we took them away. Definitely hard though because his father had been in the game industry for 10 years. I think it's in his genes lol!
