Yes you are. 

There is no way we can say what is healthy or not healthy - it depends on your kid and circumstances.  The only time I get worried about kids who play video games in extreme, or who only play video games (playing more than 70% of non-school, non-work time playing video games).

I remember I played a computer game every day for almost a full year.  I was in 8th grade, and I remember coming home, doing my homework, and playing until 9 or 10 at night. It was fantastic. A great escape for me during the throes of early adolescence. Over the years, as a teacher I saw the educational value of games in my classroom.  I still enjoy playing computer games casually.

The issue becomes when important stuff doesn’t get done.  Then you need to sit down, spend times with your kid and talk to them.  If there is someone who can give them a dutch uncle talk all the better.

What a novel concept.  Every kid is different! sheesh. . . (please note sarcasm)

I wish that the powers that be would figure that out and realize that one size fits all really doesn’t fit anyone very well.

You hit the nail on the head though - balance is key.  If you get all of your other work done, and you aren’t shirking your responsibilities, then there is no problem with playing a game a lot.  As long as it doesn’t take over your life and become an addiction that *DOES* interfere.

I can’t even remember how many freshmen failed out of college because they discovered “mudding” and never left their dorm rooms.  They didn’t have anyone ‘making’ them go to class or do their work, and so never learned how to balance it in their lives . . .
