Too Much Virtual Reality

[Lincoln Builds]

How do you balance your time between virtual reality and reality. My son plays way too much on the computer in his virtual world. He is starting to gain weight and have health problems. Heck, I'm worried that my Medical insurance and Dental insurance will quit covering him due to his unhealthy lifestyle. What suggestions do you have or what do you do to keep a healthy balance?

Well, it depends. Are they on the computer playing games for hours or is he playing games a little but also using it for useful purposes?

If he seems to just be on the computer all the time or have lost interest in other activities due to being so caught up in being on the computer, then I would encourage him to sign up for other activities and to become dedicated in them.
Another tip is to remind your son to not be on the computer for long periods of time without taking a break or two. You can ruin your eyesight by staring at a flashy computer screen all the time.
