seems this is yet another controversial topic. Child and I do play in moderation among many other things we do, such as hiking, swimming, exploring, going to the park, having play dates and sleep overs, birthday parties, amusement parks, and taking vacations.
Can the child playing video games be turned on me as a parent in any way ? Can they argue that to be all that the child ever does at my house? There are many great things we do, such as painting, arts and crafts, reading, writing, board games, playing and taking the dog for a walk, biking, spending time with siblings, grandparents, etc.
I know there are parents who are absolutely against video games, and I would hate any of the professionals involved with my child and case to be one of those. The child does have an i-pad that is used at the other parents house and games played on, and at daycare, and lots of screen time at daycares and other parent's house, including inappropriate cartoons such as Family Guy for a 7 year old, so I would think it could just as easily be turned around on the other parent.
Thoughts and comments? Do you and your kids play video games, i.e., Nintendo, I-Pad, etc ?
