I guess many of you have big kids, and some have probably got married and living separate from the parents. But my son is small, 8. So, I want to be prepared.<\/p>\n
Last few days, I spend some time with friends, and they were complaining about a problem which will concern me too, if not now but later. And that is their kids are spending too much time with computer games. This seem to be a runnaway problem with the new generation.<\/p>\n
Our older days may not have the luxury of computer games and television. I have heard of tricks like "giving a time quota", "incentives to go outdoors", "punishment like no TV or computer for one week", etc. All these adds to the frustration of being the parent.<\/p>\n
Can you share with me and us how you manage this problem? And, if you have other headaches, please write in, and others may be able to share their solutions with you. The "Reflections" category is about right.<\/p>\n
