What are some of the things you do when you have out of control kids in your house? I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve, and I’m sure you do too. One thing that I find out is that certain video games cause my kids to get over-stimulated, and I can’t let them play for too long. The main culprit I’ve found is Super Smash Brothers Brawl for the Nintendo Wii. I just can’t believe how wild it gets them. I guess I should, though, because it’s an electronic “king of the hill”, and what kid doesn’t get out of control playing king of the hill?
So, I limit their play on this crazy game to like an hour at a time – then I make them go out and run off some steam, or do an activity that will calm their brain like reading a book. Works for me, how about you?
