 What do I do? My teen is sitting around all summer playing video games and driving me crazy. Well, I know, and it will drive you crazy. But here's the thing. They do it because they can. And they do it because you're not requiring anything of them. And I would go as far to say when we get a child that is spending way too much playing video games, we're allowing them to be fractured in their thinking. We're allowing them to be distracted.
