Most of families with kids here have Sony Play Station Set at home, but we don’t have any. My hubby only bought a Game Boy for them. We think it’s enough. They could only play it on weekend. I don’t like to see them just sitting most of the times with eyes stuck on a small monitor. Not healthy at all.
Sometimes I wonder if my boys feel a little bit ‘left behind’ (not up to date) in this case since most of their friends have Play Stations., but so far they’re ok. Well, sometimes Adit, aged 11, ask about it, but never complain so much after he heard our explanation. (By the way am I strict too much?)
What about your rule about this ‘Play Station’ stuff at home?
I think it’s a pity kids nowadays don’t play traditional outdoor games too like the way we did when we’re kids such like playing marbles, stilt, rope, hopscotch jump, kites, etc. They could learn about cooperation and sportsmanship. Do your kids still play those games? Mine don’t. My hubby had ever tried to introduce some to them, but since they don’t have any friend to play with then his effort was a little bit useless.
