I need some perspective here. I know that there is no avoiding the games and computers but I wanted to put it off for as long as possible for my kids, at least while I can control what they play with. I want him to run outside and use his imagination, not sit in front of a screen.
Am I being precious, is he going to be obsessed with the stuff anyway in six months? Or are most kids this age not bothered and he will just ignore it?
His birthday is in 2 weeks, he just proudly told me yesterday that she has got this for him. I gather it is a kid's laptop with some education activities and several games.
I just want to take it from her and hide it.
Or maybe I should only show him the education activities and make sure he gets really bored with the thing quickly ....
Am I overreacting?
