8 year old won't stop asking for Roblox

H

My son literally asks me 100 times a day if he can play Roblox. We let him play on weekends for maybe 30 mins and now he's obsessed. Every conversation ends with him begging for it. Anyone else dealing with this? How do you say no without constant meltdowns? Thinking about just letting him have a gaming schedule so he knows exactly when he can play instead of asking all day.

The Roblox obsession is real with that age group. We've had better luck when I give my kids something to look forward to outside the game, like a hike or project we're building. Might redirect some of that energy.

30 minutes on weekends is actually pretty reasonable, but yeah once they get that taste it's all they want. We've found being super clear about the limits upfront helps more than trying to negotiate in the moment.

100 times a day sounds about right for that age honestly. The trick that's worked for us is making the activities we do together so engaging that he forgets about the game for a bit.
