How long do you let your child play video games?

They earn game time through the week by doing chores and having good behavior. Weekend is only time they can play video games.

Depends on the child. My 6 yr old has no patience for video games, so if and when she plays its short lived (unless Im playing a dance game or singing game with her). My 11 yr old though lol I have to drag him screaming and kicking from the PS3. He is good about it mostly. Id say maybe an hour on the weekends at a time? During the week not much at all.

My son only gets to play when all chores are done and his room is clean. I usually only let him play about 30 minutes or so. I also have to tear him away and if he argues about it then he gets no video game time for a week.

My son is 15. He has X-box live. He plays with a head set on and talks to his friends while he plays against them. He plays a few hours every day. He also plays hockey and tennis and is a good kid.

my sonbarely plays his choice not mine

However long they want. My kids are not really into games and maybe play an hour a week. I try my hardest to keep them entertained a little bit but they won't go for it. They are 6 and 8. We have a Wii, XBOX, PS3, PSP, they each have a DS, they each have a computer. THEY WON"T USE THEM AND IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!

They are allowed to play when all other stuff is done. Sometimes 30 minutes a day, sometimes 2 hours a day it really all depends. They are also expected to spend some time outside playing whenever the weather allows.

My 4 1/2 year old has a leapster...he is only allowed to play it if we are in the car for a long period of time or if he has earned it, and only for a half an hour. and a leapster is edicational. LOL i think kids these days need to do more constructive things with themselves.
