Google more information on the games and find reviews about them. Join some parenting forums and ask others for their opinions. I keep up with the latest information by talking to the young adults at my church
No.4 Before the friends come, discuss with your son the amount of time they will play. Do
this skillfully. Begin by asking your son how long he expects to play. If he says a reasonable amount-one hour would be within range-then you're not to worry
If he wants an excessive amount of
time like 3-4 hours, your knowledge of
the game will come in handy. You know
generally how long it takes to finish a
game, and you know if the game can be
saved and continued another day. You
can discuss this with your son and come
to an agreement of, say 11/2 hours
No.5 As mentioned above, boys do
have a need to do"boy things"and work
out their energy. So plan ahead to take
the boys away from the computers after
their game time and get them to sweat a
little. DO NOT expect them to happily turn off their computers and find a quiet board game to entertain themselves DO NOT say, "Just go and find something else to do.Computer/video
games are their culture and their default position. They need your help to actively find other forms of activities
