| Dear Cheeky Chums I know you only usually help | | | | The earlier you learn to sometimes say no to a child |
| with baby realted questions but My 12 year old son | | | | the easier it becomes as they get older. What often |
| want come off his games straight after school until | | | | happens by the time they reach 10 or even younger |
| bedtime what can I do? | | | | the child seems to be in control and not the parent. |
| This what Cheeky Chums recommend to any parent | | | | How does this answer your question well its a |
| in a similar position with any games that are causing | | | | reminder first of all that you are the one which is or |
| addictions... | | | | should be respoinsible. The adult sets ground rules as |
| As a parent no matter what age your children are, | | | | early as your child even reaches 1 and 2 year old so |
| you have the responcibility to parent your child. Its | | | | children don't get the upper hand. |
| not the other way round which often happens | | | | Now you have to be the good role model so cut |
| especially with busy parents or working parents who | | | | down on the number of hours they play on the |
| just want to relax when coming home from | | | | game and find alternatives you can do as a family to |
| work.often it is too easy to give in and say yes go | | | | have good old fashioned fun. You will all reap the |
| one give me a minute to myself then before you | | | | benefit. |
| know it your child has found pleasure in a game and | | | | |
