Here's another idea; one that worked with my 2 sons; don't just order them to "turn off the damn video game and go out and play". Tell them to "turn off that damn video game and come with dad. We're going outside to play.Catch me if you can!"

Video games have their place, but nothing will ever replace the bond you make with your kids when you join them in the backyard activities. "Wrestle-dad-to-the-ground" was our favorite. I never won. I held my own, but the outcome was inevitable, especially as they got older and stronger.
