I am all for letting her play all she wants. Because she does have a full, active, and busy life. The playing will be her "down" time (which we all need to rejuvinate). Of course, if she's not doing something she should be, use it as reward. I feel as long as mine do well in school, have outside interests, then they have unlimited playing time. They stop, do other things, whatever...they tire of it occasionally on their own. But, all the other moms I know have kids who also play night and day so I don't feel so bad. But I do feel a little bad.-Alyssa
