My bro, is 7yr. old. He plays games 24/7! I try to get him him stop! Any help?

Question

I've tried many things that would work on any other 7 yr. old...

Answer 1

open the console, unscrew the pos and neg wires. put it back togehter, He will never know what the h**l happened and it will appear broken. Just dont let him throw it away.

Answer 2

not something a little tripped breaker or unplugged video cable cant solve, or saved game lost...

Answer 3

I totally agree with the first answer. My boys are ADDICTED to their xbox and i recently signed them up for a "video-game camp" which is like they go to camp and they  discuss their favorite games and DON'T play any. They experiment with different games, and it seems like lots of fun.

ask your parents to sign him up for a sport or camp

hope this helped!

Answer 4

Make it seem like the game console is broken.

Don't actually break it though, just like disconnect the wire from the tv or something.

He's 7, he shouldn't know how to fix that lol.

If you're lucky he'll get bored and find something else to do.

Answer 5

bribery - if he wants a new game or cash from you he has to prove he can leave the machine for a week solid.

Answer 6

It's not up to you to get him to stop to begin with.  This is a problem for your parents to handle.

Answer 7

get him dance dance revolution

Answer 8

hide it

Answer 9

take the console...unplug it...put it up and away!  Or simply tell him no?  does he have a bike or scooter so he can go outside and play?

Answer 10

My son is also 7 and plays game a lot. He has other interest also. Your parents need to find a healthy balance. He needs to spend time not only playing games but reading, building stuff and watching tv, movies, etc.

One things I do is take my kids to a really nice library at least once a week. Also going to the park and for walks is fun as well. There are lots of fun things to do with kids that have nothing to do with games.
