All my nephew cares about is T.V and video Games?
March 20, 2010 by: nickadminHe’s 6 and i know thats what 6 year old boys do. and it’s winter so we can’t play outside.
But before we got our new big screen tv. and my brother got PS3 we use to take pictures together when my family watched him on Mon. and Thur while my sister worked late. and we also played together other days, he was my little dude:] and even though im his aunt and im 14 and he’s my nephew and is 6, he was one of my best friends! He makes me smile when im sad and laugh and i’d have sleepover in my room(his down the hall in my house) if he felt sad or got hurt that day.
And i know how i sound, but our relationship never was like a normal aunt and nephew thing. But he always plays fighting video games and it’s getting him a little violent and meaner seeming.
I’m not his mom, i can’t say he can’t play video games for a day right?
What should i do? I offer to play board games and such but he just wants to watch T.v and video games with my brother.
board games will be gone in a few years. stick to the future.
Fight him back.
My nephew is the same way. He’s six and I’m fifteen. Every boy gets to the stage where it’s all about video games and tv but the best thing to do is just get down to his level. If he starts play fighting with you just pick him up and and ply fight back. If he ever actually hit you hard just grab his hand and tell him to watch it. How he reacts to this varies but if you’re goin to play fight set boundaries. Also, if he wants a drink or something offer to help or just have a small talk with him then. You could also talk to your mom and ask if she could set a limit to how long he plays video games and make sure your brother stops too.
If you happen to get him away from the tv and just have a little family time he’ll realize he can have fun either way.
Hope I helped :]
My little baby sitter friend. If you feel that you cant tell him, you should tell his mom. That she will make him understand that he WILL NOT ALWAYS PLAY VIDEO GAMES. AND BY YOU WATCHING HIM YOU HAVE SAY SO IN THAT VERY MOMENT. MAKE HIS MOMMY AND DADDY BY EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS, AND LIMIT HIS TIME TO WATCH TV. OR MAKE SURE ITS ALL EDUCATIONAL. AND BE SURE TO TELL HIM IF HE DOES NOT LIKE IT, THEN HE CAN GO LAY DOWN OR SIT IN A CORNER. HE’S 6 AND YOUR 14 DO THE MATH WHO IS OLDER? LIKE I SAID TELL HIS MOM, AND SIT DOWN WITH HER WHEN SHE DOES IT SO HE WILL UNDERSTAND. IF THEY DON’T LIKE IT, TELL THEM TO FIND A NEW BABYSITTER.
SINCERELY,
