Do you have video games at your house?

It’s not bad to have video games in the house.  Most likely it’s a lot of fun for the kids … and maybe you jump in from time to time, as well.  But what happens when gaming becomes an obsession?

It started out as a way for your teen to hang out with friends … but it’s become all-consuming.  Even addictive.  Mom.  Dad.  Don’t let it slide!  As a parent, you need to set up healthy boundaries that are age-appropriate.

Like everything else that goes on in your house, keep your eyes open.  Don’t check out.  If your teen can’t balance his life on the console … help him find healthy alternatives.
