Let him play the video games, it stimulates the mind. Just make sure he does his chores and homework and let him do what he enjoys. Not everyone will enjoy sports. Also, maybe find out what kind of games he plays and play with him. Educate yourself, learn about games. Be a good father. |

Find out what he's interested in. Find common grounds. There's more to life than sports. |

Tell him he has to do one school sport and you will contintue to pay for his games. He can pick any sport, he just has to do one. |

Not a thing! If he isn't into sports, don't push it on him. It is ok to insist he go out and do "other things" - like ride a bike OR SOMETHING - but do not insist he do specific things, like sports. He will just resent it and you. |

would ask him if anything hurt him and open conversation if he needs to see a doctornowdays most children are very aware and dont need us think on their behalf..
if is everything ok, little shopping with mom wont hurt him. cutting grass or gardening, may be swimming is nice. we as grown up feel lonly to do things alone find him excersize partner |

What is the big deal? Is he always attached? Does he go to friends homes, etc? In my phychology class they taught us that each person is completly individual and forcing someone to participate in something that does not interest them will only make them participate poorly and it also tells them that you don't think their interests are important at all. Perhaps the proper way to look at this is to look and see where you can find an interest that he has that is other than games. Talk to him, let him suggest something. If he tells you he is into electronics try technical theater programs, into video games have him try paintball (most video gamers like the rapid brain function that is induced while playing.) You might want to try different type of mind challenging puzzles.
Here is another suggestion, try an audiobook that you play in the car when you are driving him somewhere see if that peaks his interest. There is no need for him to play sports if he is not interested. If you are concerned about health try a daily 10 min exercise routine before school.
One resource that might help you in working and understanding your childs needs and interests is the "Let's Fix The Kids" programs. You can find them here: http://www.familyhood.com/lftk.html |

Maybe sports just aren't for him. No biggie as long as he gets enough exercise. On the other hand, an addiction to video games isn't so great either. You can't push him toward sports, but you can limit his time with the video games.
You could try bribing him to join a team...or martial arts. |

try and watch some sports with him, or play catch or touch football or something. Don't push him into it, or he definitly won't want anything to do with it. The more a kid is pushed into something they don't want the more they don't like you. |

You don't ever want to force him unless he is really young but if he is a teenager then have him play football with is dad or soccer. |

This is the worst addiction which is grabbing Millions of Kids worldwide.
The one thing you can do is stop buying him More Video Game CD's, which attracts him more and more to the world of Computer Games.
Try to make him understand the fact that some games that he plays like SOCCER, CRICKET, TENNIS,.... are actually meant for one to get an overview of the Sport so that it can be Implemented in real Life.
Make him undertand the Importance of making Sports game a more pratical kind of a thing in real life.
Also stop buying him Game CD's which are Fight and Violence related.
I hope my Advice is put to use or rather useful to some extent.
Take Care.

Take the video game away for awhile. Who's in control? You or him? Parents kill me with this kind of stuff. Does the child pay any electricity in the house? Well! Turn off my t.v.! Either play sports, read a book, or write a poem. No t.v. for now.
Are you afraid of him? If so, then that's your fault. If not, then lay the law down. I have a fifteen y/o step son. He has a playstation. When I get tired of him playing, I simply tell him to turn it off and find something constructive and educational to do.
He knows that "I AIN'T SCARED" so he does what I ask of him. Of course, he could say something dumb like, "You're not my real mother", then I would have to show him just how real I am. |
