It’s hard as a parent to manage all the technology that your kids have access to, but when it comes to video games, there is some research that can help you determine how long your child should play video games each day.
Once kids play for more than three hours a day, it can cause impairment when it comes to socializing and being able to function appropriately in the family.
Here are some reminders for parents when it comes to video games:
First, police the content in the games. Make sure it’s age appropriate for your child by reading the ratings and actually viewing the games, especially those online.
Set limits on the length of time that your child can play the games.
Never allow the games to be housed in your child’s room.
Actively discuss the games with your child. Becoming actively involved in the games that your kids are playing will help you to monitor your child’s activity and will help you to have conversations with your child.
