Everything in moderation. We have Nintendo, Nintendo 64, XBox, XBox 360, every version of Gameboy, portable DVD player, 3 computers, 4 iPods, and 4 DS "thingies".
All of our children watch TV, ride bikes and skateboards, play with friends, do crafts, and are involved in many activities. Our oldest plays volleyball. Our son plays baseball and football and is in Cub Scouts. Our youngest has the wildest imagination and loves to read and is also in Daisy Scouts.
None of us are overweight. All of us still have an imagination and use it. We went camping this weekend and the kids didn't peep about the lack of electronics because they did outdoor things: rode bikes, kicked balls, ran around, roasted marshmallows and hot dogs.
Because they are so active, I don't complain about how much they play on the computer or video games. We still play, get this, board games and card games with our kids. We will turn off the tv and get out the family games and enjoy the family time together. The kids' favorites include Monopoly JR, Cranium, and Doodle Dice. Incidentally, they LOVE watching Jeopardy with us, especially when it is the Kids tournaments. And Wheel of Fortune is another favorite.
Stay active. If you and your husband aren't into the video games, continue to use that as a platform. We, as a family, enjoy the video games, so it works for us. Everything in moderation.
