Do you allow your 5 year old to Play Video games?

[BeachMommy07]

If so..

Do you limit a time restriction on how long they can play the game?

What kind of games do they play?

[lil_mama06]

Yes...Sarah likes the Villagers game, dora and hidden objects. She plays til she doesn't want to anymore..She quickly loses interest and plays with her barbies or dolly's...

My son is 6. He has a 3DS, Wii, XBox, PS3 and he loves playing on the iPad.

He doesn't play all the time. He loves being outside but he also loves games.

My 4yo plays my old game boy color. He gets about an hour when we are in the car on longer trips. He also have a vmotion and a mobigo. He gets to play those then ever he wants cuz they are learning systems. He usually plays about an hour on those also.

We have xbox360 and the wii. Half hour per day, that's any type of games- phone, computer or video games all counts towards the half hour. And they can't play till my dh comes home from work at 3:30. This makes them quit asking and forces them todo other things for most the day. They started getting obsessed so we put strict restrictions on it. If I could do it over again I wouldn't have let them start. So addictive and they are never creative anymore just want to do that. I'd take it away completely but my mom babysits for us and won't restrict them when they're over there but I can't afford other daycare. Stuck. As for types they play sports, disney cars or Mariocart. Never fighting or anything like that.

Yes I let my son play and I do not limit him because he doesn't ask to play often. He mostly likes the Lego games on xbox or anything he can use wii fit board on wii.

We started allowing our son to play video games when he turned 5. We purchased Xbox w/Kinect. All the video games we purchase are interactive, fun and age appropriate. Nothing with unnecessary violence.

 He was into Wii golf, right after we got it..So were his dad and I, but anyway.. He lost interest, really quick. My kid is about mud puddles, catching frogs and playing with his dog...lol

[besosfantasies]

Occasionally we play super mario bros on the wii.. but he does not know how to play it and I do not allow him to veg out in front of the tv. He's also 3.5. My nephew whom is 5 knows how to do EVERYTHING.. including COD.
