This is my stance. My brother and I always played videogames but we also spent a lot of time outside playing soccer/dodgeball/catching lizards/ etc... with other kids. Games were just a part of our lives, not the majority of our lives. My kids will go fishing with me and play sports with friends and such. You get a well rounded child that way. I'm thankfull my parents raised me to have multiple hobbies because now I can relate to a wide variety of people since I have a wide variety of hobbies. I can watch anime with a friend one day then go conoeing the next day then bowling the next and have a good time doing all of that. Tomorrow I'm stripping the paint off an old dresser and staining it for someone, something my dad taught me 15 years ago.
