Have it occur to you that the solution to get kids off the video game addition is not to ban them from the gaming times, but to guide them to the quest of their life purpose? I love how Dannah Gresh puts it in her book, "Six Ways to Keep the Good in Your Boy". The book also comes with tips box as shown in the picture. The infor. inside each box is very useful and can be used for reference search to find more resources. Here is an excerpt of the book:

"As I write this, a three-year-old boy in my church has been wearing a homemade cape and sword everywhere he goes. After seeing him like this several times, I finally asked if he was "Superman." He wasted no time drawing his sword and shouting to me that he was, in fact, "Bible Man!" (Yahoo!)

From a very young age, boys want to conquer something . . . Gaming, however, gives him a false sense of purpose (and up to 25 percent of boys will actually become addicted to that sensation). Achieving the next level in the game Call of Duty sends a message to his brain that he's found a sacred purpose. In the real world, he's sitting on his bed way past bedtime, thwarting his ability to answer to a real, lifelong call of duty.

And here is probably the most insidious danger of gaming. You don't want your son to miss out on his real life mission because he has spent the most formative years of his life locked into completing fantasy missions."
