My kid is playing too much video games

It’s important to ensure your child is getting a healthy balance of activities. While it’s ok for your child to enjoy playing video games, it’s important to set limits. Here are a few tips to help you manage your child’s video game playing:

• Set time limits. Decide with your child how much time they can spend playing video games each day and stick to it.
• Encourage them to take breaks. Ask your child to take a break every hour or so to do something else, such as read, exercise, or talk to you.
• Encourage other activities. Make sure your child is involved in other activities such as sports, music, art, or clubs.
• Play with them. Consider playing video games with your child. This can help you understand their game playing and also give you an opportunity to bond with them.
• Monitor the content. When your child is playing video games, make sure you know what kind of content they are exposed to.
