my 12 year old boy is addicted to ps3 and wii games what can I do?
Dear Cheeky Chums I know you only usually help with baby realted questions but My 12 year old son want come off his games straight after school until bedtime what can I do?

This what Cheeky Chums recommend to any parent in a similar position with any games that are causing addictions…

As a parent no matter what age your children are, you have the responcibility to parent your child. Its not the other way round which often happens especially with busy parents or working parents who just want to relax when coming home from work.
often it is too easy to give in and say yes go one give me a minute to myself then before you know it your child has found pleasure in a game and knows that you will  moan just to get some time to your self
The earlier you learn to sometimes say no to a child the easier it becomes as they get older. What often happens by the time they reach 10 or even younger the child seems to be in control and not the parent. How does this answer your question well its a reminder first of all that you are the one which is or should be respoinsible. The adult sets ground rules as early as your child even reaches 1 and 2 year old so children don’t get the upper hand.

Now you have to be the good role model so cut down on the number of hours they play on the game and find alternatives you can do as a family to have good old fashioned fun. You will all reap the benefit.
Your child will be socializing with other children and adults making it easier to get out of the house. Although some hand held games can be taken along make sure the games stay behind when  you go out as a family. Here are some suggestions you can do as a family and ideas for your son to become more active, staying healthy, introducing new hobbies and pastimes to keep the brain active with new ideas too fun, excitement and enjoyment.
