#1159: Better than Virtual Life

About this episode

Is your son glued to a screen?

You’ve tried everything, but you just can’t pull your son away from his video games. Well here’s something to consider. Does your son’s real life give him the same opportunities for adventure that his virtual world does?

Of course, video games are addictive by design. But researchers have found that boys also turn to gaming out of boredom, seeking freedom and risk.

Try adding a few more “yesses” to your son’s life. Let him ride his bike down a hill, take a walk in the woods, or try climbing a tree. The best way to draw your son away from a virtual world is to give him healthy challenges in real life.

To learn about the five critical needs of boys as they grow up, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
