Is it wrong for an 11 year old to day after day and night to play video games?

I have an 11 yr old
Makes great grades in school
Goes above and beyond to help others (and was awarded 2 awards at school for doing just that ,even protecting others)
He has respect and manners and is a very good leader at 11

now I limit the time he is on a game console ,,
but it does not seem to be harming him

He smokes me gaming ,and I always considered myself pretty good
He is 10 steps ahead of me ,,but ,,I do watch the types of games I let him play ,,and he has a time limit
He also watches video's and actually looks up how to videos when he wants to know how to do something ,,
he is very smart ,tech wise, but he is good at math and reads at 7th grade reading level
As far as my son ,,I don't think I have any reasons for concern ,,but if I see that change
Its also a good alternative to punishment

"if you want to get on your play station I suggest you clean that room young man "

"Yes sir ,consider it done "

He even helped me with the laundry without being asked today
He heard the washer stop running and loaded the laundry in the dryer ,,its in a shed ,not the house
He had other things on his mind besides a game
I was very proud of him .

Day after day and night after night is not good no matter what you're doing. It's too easy being a parent nowadays...from the time they can hold an ipad or phone toddlers are in front of a screen. Instant pacifier/babysitter. Parents need to spend quality time with their children and provide them with rich experiences.

if that's their only activity ever, yes, it's not good.

Just a big bit ... It's called addiction

Yes, it is. I have a cousin who is 13 and he played the video game all day, every day.

He began to get used to it since he was 9. Now it's too late to stop him. Don't ever let kids attach with technology too early. Sooner or later, they will become addicted to it, and nothing can't prevent them from it.

We limit game time no matter what social life with the family is important

Nope, unless it's the only activity that they do. It can be an addiction. As long as they're not playing games over 18+. I play video games a lot, but not that much now. I've been mainly enjoying the summer and being more active going to events with friends.

Yeah No I don't know how that could be more interesting than theater or classic literature I'll never know.

Maybe it is but I don't think sohe's got peerage beside him. Can't fault that. Not without faulting their mom's. Don't even doubt nobody discourages him read at least about his contemporary game champions in history.

Those guys. Some of them have yewgggg income jobs promoting and constructing virtual spaces. So I'd tend to lean on no with the disclaimer I'd encourage him read if I could also but know I would fail if not aliernate my kids.

They are addictive, however, some games are "open world" and require a great deal of time to cover the distances in the game.

When I was 11, back in the stone age, we all went outside to play.

Depends on the game. And whether or not they're doing homework

Maybe, maybe not.

That's pretty normal.

Absolutely!

Yes. Life is about balance
