I need help with my daughter?

Question

She got some webkinz and keeps getting more i enjoy myself playing on her account to but should i be worried for her age she is 12 her friends have them to but still. We moms love them it keeps them out of trouble and i think it is just a hobby and things she collects but i am just wondering is this normal and lots of kids at her school have them to at there school webkinz is allowd

Answer 1

dont worry about it.........i know 14 and 15 year olds who have webkinz.........theres probablly ppl even older than that who have webkinz

Answer 2

My daughter is playing on the webkinz site right now! She's 7. I was reluctant to get her one but so many of her friends got them for Christmas and she was crushed that Santa brought them to everyone but her.  

They're not as bad as I thought they would be, but I do have to restrict the time on the computer.  I'm hoping she outgrows it at some point. She has a sport she's involved with that keeps her busy most days after school so at least she can't get online every day.

Answer 3

i have one too and there fine dont  be worried

Answer 4

i had a lot of webkinz for awhile and i think its good for her after awhile she'll grow out of it but the games are good for hand eye coordination and math skills and so on. i think its fine that she likes them. she'll grow out of it soon. good luck!!!

Answer 5

all between my kids (7) they share 22 webkinz and I let them go on each for 15 min otherwise they get to addicted and they want to play for an hour and that is way to much computer time for me and so I think you should limmit her so she won't get to addicted like my little girl named Kameriya Rose she asks 24/7 can i go on webkinz mommy then if I say no she will go right up to Connor (dad) can I go on webkinz and he will say no and she will start to cry and then we like have to give in because she will get all of the kids to start cry and ya so just limmit her on how much you let her go on!!

Answer 6

You shouldn't worry. It will seem as though she never grows out of it and she is constantly on it, but trust me, she will get sick of itl.

Answer 7

Rememeber the beanie baby phase?  everyone had those things ages 2-80 I am sure.  My 10 year old loved the webkins until she got a DS now she is hooked on that. Itis a normally phase I think the webkins are just going to last alittle longer but the good thing is that we as parents are the ones who controls how much time the spend doing it also it is A LOT better then some of the other things soe 12 year olds are doing right now....I would just go ahead and get involved with it with her and ask her things about it and watch hwo she does it then at least it can be some time you 2 are getting to share together.

Answer 8

Don't worry about it.  It's the new thing right now.  She'll be over it in six months most likely.  It's perfectly normal for a kid to enjoy herself while playing stuff like neopets and webkinz and club penguin.  It's just our generation.  The computer is a big part of it.  (By the way I'm sixteen...so our generation meaning me and your daughter's).  She'll get over it soon enough.  And trust me it's better to enjoy yourself with the computer than go out and hang around with a bunch of guys at a park.  It'll keep her out of trouble and that's good, right?
