No, I can definitely say they don't lock such stuff.
The child is overloaded with stuff like that. There's nothing she won't get.
I don't know what they are trying to achieve by doing so.If I have read this when I was 6, I would definitely agree with you. :-D My situation's a bit different. I tend to be deaf when I am already playing, so that was probably the reason. :laugh: Seriously, any parent, IMHO, should also control their kids so as not to let them be addicted to it. Anything in excess is harmful.

naaa, I turn the light on. So the eyes are safe... We watch some because the children know TV is there. I want to teach them to be responsible on things like that. Why doesn't your son have time?

When he wakes up he plays until time for school, then school, then lunch, then he sleeps one hour or two, then he plays outside, then diner, then he plays again outside or in the living room, then bath, then bedtime stories, and the day is gone.

Hej! So my brother wants to buy a Nintendo DS for his 7yo daughter. yepp - 7. Barely able to read. Not a much supported girl anyway. I can't support that. Does a 7yo need such stuff? any suggestions what to give as present for B-day as a "compensation"?

My kids are eleven (2 boys). They both have a nintendo ds, WII, PS3 and a laptop. We let them use the stuff as they wish. They are however more interested in the outdoors and wood would rather come with me and ride their offroad motorbikes or hunt for crickets, lizards, frogs ( to terrorize their mother with). The only time when they do play games is when it's pouring with rain and we keep them indoors. By all means by her DS, it is however the parents responsibility to ensure that it gets used responsibly. Kids do as their parents do. If the parent is a couch potato that is addicted to gaming, then the child will do the same.

I started earlier with old nintendo entertainment systems and I'm not referring to a NES... I'm referring to those small gadgets with liquid cristal displays. I called them tiki-tiki (as they made a curious tiki sound each time you pressed a button). And at 9+ I started learning IT related topics. So having a DS must not be a bad thing, but of course it can... it all depends on how it is managed... PS: it is your brother daughter so you have not much to say... (someone had to say it) but of course you have all the right in the world to become worried... Good luck... :rose:

My first computer was a C64. The step from playing games to programming was much smaller back then though. Don't see a 7 year old hacking a DS and compile her own ROM's. There still are some programming books for kids though, like "C# for sharp kids" maybe he could give her that instead. Imagine the look on her face... :laugh:

Hence my suggestion of a Sinclair Spectrum :)

There are kids books on more difficult topics[^]! The one in the link was required reading on the 1st year Physics course at Durham University, as it gives you the concepts without the maths in the clearest possible manner, I still have my copy!

Buy the kid some books (this is not the gift) and read to her (this is the gift).

Fuck your nice, I bought some books and told them to fucking learn to read, both go through a ton of books and several years above their age.
