Gamer's mom needs advice! - Games Life Q&A

Hi all! I (39f) am the mom to an only child(8f), my husband (42m) and my daughter both enjoy video games. I've never lived them, but once ina while I find a game that I enjoy playing.

My daughter is obsessed with her tablet. She received a new iPad at Christmas and it's all she wants to do. I have a bias, I'll be honest. I'm afraid she's going to develop many problems from so much screen time. I've read about eye problems and even potential ADHD

How can I, as the mom give her the ability to play, express herself, have fun,.and even socialize with real life friends and Online friends.(We monitor her account and she knows to never share any personal information).

I know that the video games can actually give her a lot of great benefits, but I'm not sure where the line is. If your parents would have let you choose your video game time, what would you have chosen?
