We all know that it's not easy to give up hobbies from when you were very young. I have even experienced a hobby that I loved and had to give up. Pokemon was my favorite thing when I was younger. (up to age 8) I still liked it until I was 10, but I did other things, because I knew that I had to stop. I broke down and would play at times, but I would stop. Then I found a trick to stop and here it is: the game isn't the only fun thing. I realized I only liked it then because I shouldn't play and I remembered it being more fun than it was.
Another example is stuffed animal games, like Webkinz. I know a ten year old boy who just bought one. He likes it for the games only, as he says, but it's still not good for a kid his age (especially a boy) to want one.
If you or your kid is struggling to give up games like those then just get yourself, or if it's your kid, involved in sports. They are wonderful for kids and a time consuming healthy activity. There are so many wonderful things to do that can get you out of things like them. There are a lot of things, but you can even be active in the house, or as a parent invite some friends over for your kid, make sure they have enough fun games, and encourage them to be active. I hope you enjoyed this advice.
