Learning moderation is a super valuable life skill. I’m letting my kids game as much as they want. But I’m also teaching them the downsides of not setting limits for themselves. If they stay up all night, don’t do their chores, etc., there will be consequences in their lives that they will suffer.
The entirety of adult life is a game of self control. I view it as a learning opportunity for them. Hopefully my strategy works out 🤷♂️

My parents did the same. I could play as much as I wanted, but if I fell behind on my homework or my grades started slipping, they'd take the games away until they improved.
