My daughter is 9

so far we've kept tech away.

We have no gaming consoles in the house at all

I have an iPhone and iPad I use for work, she gets to play occasionally and has to ask and it's games only for max 30 mins or so, usually about once a fortnight

No ipods etc

So far so good

But she is only 9.

I know what will happen once she hits her teens.

We had a 13 year old stay with us for about 9 months.

We took her iPad off her a few times as she was forever heads down in it. She hates us for it, but was a far more engaged, bright intelligent and fun young lady when she didn't have it

I'm right there with you Cluxford! Granted my boys are only 5 & 8, but I have held out so far without game consoles. We will let them play on the phone for about 20 minutes max every few days. Otherwise, they would never put it down! But that being said, they go outside and play on our 5 acres! Not much, but its outside of town and they can play outside without as much worry of some weirdo taking them! As close to it can be as when we were kids riding our bike around everywhere and the "be back for dinner" era.
Don't know how long I can hold out without the games, but I'll go as long as I can before we get them. They're a HUGE time killer in my opinion.
