After going the last 14 years without a TV, this year for Christmas we surprised the kids with a TV and an Xbox. As they get older more of their friend’s social activities involve video games and they are old enough to handle it a little better, so we took the plunge.
I am actually writing this post a few weeks after the fact, and so far things are going OK. We have established decent limits and have a good selection of non-violent games for them to play.
