Playstation games Part A

Mostly the lingo of any 11 year old boy, it's sort of what makes them "tick". I prescribe to all my children clients "no more than 30min at a time" (It puts strain on your eyes after 20 min). Seemingly impossible for parents to control. So many of my friends recently bought new couches for their living room, new flat screen TVs etc... and I ask them "what did you buy for your children that you can do WITH THEM?” Most of the toys and things (DVDS, Guns) that parents buy for their children is stuff that makes the children play on their own. My friends are mostly impressed with those toys, and all the really great educational toys that you have to play WITH your child are going off the market, because no body buys it. 90% of the parents I meet don’t even know what Lego is. Not to say that you have to play with your child 24/7, at least get a trampoline, jungle gym, and rope in the tree and 7 educational 3dimensional games, (not computer educational games). Use play station and TV watching time as incentive to playing outside.Think of the things you played when you were a child, I’m sure you’ll get some fantastic ideas to stimulate your child's creativity and development.
