Not to be rude or anything, but it is the fault of a parent, and not of a child, that they play videogames all day without going outside or reading books. You've got to set the rules and appoint appropriate punishments. Completely leaving your kids without a console to pass free time on is pretty weak. I mean, I've already brought myself as an example. If your kid is active, has lots of friends, likes to play outside, then bringing a videogame system into the house (or a TV *sigh*) is pretty harmless. I'm really glad I didn't have some of you as parents (no TVs, damn).
