Navigating Game Boundaries When Your Kid’s Friends Have None

It’s tough when your child’s friends seem to have zero restrictions on gaming, while you’re trying to set healthy boundaries at home. I remember the first time my son came home frustrated, asking why he couldn’t play as long as his friends do. It was a real challenge to stick to our rules without making him feel left out. We talked about why our family values balance and how screen time can affect sleep and mood. It wasn’t easy, but I realized that holding firm to our limits teaches him self-control and helps him understand our family’s priorities. Have you faced this dilemma?
