I'm not looking for links or studies which have determined or recommended the proper amount of video game time for children. What I am looking for is a baseline to compare our child's hours of play to yours. I value the input of peers and community members much more than websites or magazine articles.

How many hours a week do your children play?
What ages are your children?
Do you take notice of the ESRB ratings when choosing games for your kids?
Do you play with your kids all the time? Or does the child play with you out of the room?

If you're interested in our child's patterns:
- My son is 5
- He's allowed up to an hour a day IF he's been good, finished his homework, or it's the weekend.
- He only plays the LEGO series games or racing games for children (Cars, MarioKart, Sonic Racing)
- I'll play sometimes with him but mostly he plays alone.

Thanks for your input!
