Both of my children have recently been spending a lot of time playing video games and games on the internet. I used to be worried that these games were violent, but I have since realized that they are not. But now I'm wondering if I should be trying to get them to play outside more often (especially now that summer is right around the corner). Neither of them are overweight, but I'm wondering if its merely a difference of the times between when I was growing up and now. He has a good amount of friends, and one of the games he's playing actually lets him create his own games. Therefore, I sort of feel as if they are working out their brains. Here's the game if you want to see what I mean (Make Games at ChallengeYou.com - Create Your Own Online Multiplayer Games.). Should I be worried??

You know, it's actually pretty interesting that they're actually building their own games in addition to playing them. I think it shows a lot of creativity and interest in technology -even the backend of it. Who knows, maybe they'll end up being game designers in the future.
Still, yes, maybe they can benefit from some non-video game time. Since it's the summer, take advantage of the sunny days to play outdoors. After all, although it's nice that they have an area of expertise now, it's also good to experience different things to be even more well-rounded. Plus, everyone can do with a bit of sunshine every once in a while.
