Not really tring to find a scapegoat. My uncertainty lies with "parenting" as something we are not born knowing how to do. I have not placed the blame on anyone or anything. I thought it was a relavant topic online with the xbox post.
Just wanted to explore some answers as to why he has acted the way he has. And to find out if this behavior is typical of a boy his age and situation.
If it is normal behavior.. fine.
If it is because of "bad parenting". Even better... it is easier to change my actions than his.
I personally feel that you are way off base. Kids learn and absorb ALL that is around them. The good and the bad. From TV, video games, parents, siblings. And it does not take sticking them in a room with that as their only stimuli.
Fun factor or not.
A young child is still going to mimic what they see or hear. Or as my scientist friends say, "The brains pre-frontal cortex will at a young age pick up on this type of environmental stimuli."
The brains pre-frontal cortex is responsible for planning, organizing and sequencing behavior for self-control, moral judgment and attention.
His is still developing. And I am trying to teach him the correct way (right from wrong). If the stimulus from the xbox is affecting him in a negative manner. Then the negative will be removed until he is able to discern that it is just a game.
