Whenever I come home on the weekends, my son who is 7 years old turning 8 this September, is always playing computer games. He plays Half-Life, Left for Dead and GTA. I don't know how to play these games. I don't know what's he pressing on the keyboard. I've never touched the keyboard in playing games. I only play Text Twist, Chess, Mah-jong, etc with the mouse. LOL. It's such a shame letting my son teach me how to play those games. Maybe he will laugh at me. LOL. Happy myLotting everyone.

Hi friend, not only your son, most of the kids in this modern days are addicted with computer games as well as they know about playing them very well, in fact they can win all the tough online games easily without more effort.

Hi angelkarah050182, your son has the same birthday with my nephew who is turning 7 too this coming Sept. 8, he is not addicted to video games because he loves to play with his cousins and playmates. But my husband is addicted to video games almost everyday he played NBA live and Call of Duty. Sometimes I play video games too but I only like plants vs. zombies and Cinema Tycoon.

LOL. Your husband is the addict. I used to play Plants vs Zombies too. It's good that your nephew isn't addicted to computer games yet. Don't let him play so that he'll not get addicted. LOL. Happy mylotting.

Hello to you Angel. I think your son is cute and smart. I also love looking at some children who are good at playing some complicated games. I think they're really good especially when they really know which keys to strike on the keyboard. In my case, I think I was able to use the keyboard in playing some computer games with my nephew. Before, I was able to play Ninja Turtles, Crazy Taxi, and Hamster Ball using the keyboard. Way back then, I really loved playing some computer games. Now, I'm not that updated. Maybe I know the names of the games your son is playing but I think I didn't try playing them yet. I think my nephew who is already a teenager also plays those games you mentioned. I was able to watch him playing GTA before but I didn't mind borrowing the keyboard from him. Maybe, if you want to learn how to play those games, take time watching and observing your son while he is playing. Maybe,it's just okay for you to ask him to teach you. Maybe, he might laugh at you but at least, you could test his way of explaining some instructions or tricks that he knows in playing those games. Happy myLotting and may you enjoy playing some computer games with your son this weekend. :)

Oh, good for you. You were able to play games with your nephew using the keyboard. Yes, I'll try to observe him in order to learn how to play those games. However, I'm not yet interested in those games nowadays. Happy mylotting.

My daughter is 3yrs old and she is addicted to tv and games on tab. I fsce real probkem because she is always buzzy on these gagids , she don't go out to play ,she don't take part in active games and sports . I really don't know how to tackle it . On the other hand if i see she is really good in playing games which means that she uses her brain to play. Which means she is inteklegent .

Oh, yes I agree with you. That's definitely serious. I guess he started to get addicted at an early age. I'll talk to him about it. Happy mylotting.

You can always make him stop or play when he has no home work or you can tell him to play with his friends or make him play other games like what you play but don't be too hard on him okay i hope this is helpful for you.

Yes, he knows his responsibilities. He does his homework first and he spends some of his time playing computer games. When he gets bored, he gets out of the house and play with his cousins. Then, when he gets bored playing with his cousins, he gets back to playing computer games again. LOL. Happy mylotting.
