How much gaming is too much for a 13 year old?
My son has been really into Fortnite with his friends and I get it, it's social for them. But he wants to play 3-4 hours after school and I'm drawing the line at 2 hours max on weekdays. He says all his friends get more time. I don't want to be the strict dad but I also see how it affects his mood and his grades are starting to slip. Anyone else set gaming limits? How do you handle the pushback and make sure they're still getting exercise and sunlight?
My son's friends are all on Fortnite too so I get the appeal. We settled on an hour on school nights and more on weekends. He actually seems okay with it when there's a clear boundary.
