[QUOTE="Steely, post: 225128, member: 3301"] I really like MWM mom's approach. My son was also obsessed with games, and over the years it got worse and worse. I did not do a good job enforcing the rules like MWM, although I tried. Then, a year ago, difficult child literally got addicted to WOW (world of warcraft). He would not leave his room for hours and hours. That was the beginning of the end for him, as you see on my posts, he is now in Residential Treatment Center (RTC). He thought about WOW 24/7 - even when he went to wilderness camp - he would write to me about it. The whole game is designed to be addictive. I have employees at work, who will come in and say, man I didn't sleep a wink last night I was up all night playing WOW. I think I would use MWMs advice, and also make sure he does not get into the role playing games like WOW. They actually stimulate the same chemical in the brain that cocaine does. They are dangerous, and as addictive as drugs. [/QUOTE]
