I think we are incredibly fortunate though to be so involved in our sons lives at this age and phase... as a lot of parents (esp single mothers!) are not able to be there full time. I have to admit, it does surprise me that the games dont have more of an effect on my child, because that is one thing that worried me too. But truth be told, he is a very kind-hearted and easy going young man - no signs of rage or violence or anything along those lines. Perhaps they work it all out in the games... lol I know how you feel, Kelly!

My Sean is an avid gamer though he only has had my permission to game online since January of this year. He plays Counter Strike Source mostly. Of course the mother's heart in me wishes he would like playing something a bit less violent - and the language I hear coming out of his computer some days has me less than excited. But I guess I accept that this is the testosterone filled world of 'war gaming'. I have just made sure that my boy knows that he had better be able to seperate that world from his behavior in this one. (And so far he does well with that.) Kudos to your Zack for taking this hobby and doing something really concrete with it! Lynn, that is so incredibly cool!
