Re: What to do with a Child who plays SNG\'s?

Your wife displays the fear of most laypeople. Perhaps there is a shading there of how she feels about your own poker playing.
Personally I see no fault in your son playing but I would see it as a challenge to you to prove to both your wife and perhaps yourself too that there can be a greater good in and through poker(or in fact any other activity you chose. If your son was a chess or piano playing prodigy you would be in the same position{actually probably worse in real terms}but at least you'd have the approval of the masses).
This is an excellent opportunity for you to teach your son about a lot of the basic tenets of life. "Winning" "losing" "maintaining ones equipoise(especially with respect to money)" and the fact that there is more to life than money. This is a great challenge for you and your son and I wish you both the best.

Nice post. I know I certainly didn't mature in terms of patience and respect until I really got deep into the game at the age of 20.
