Question of the Week: How Much Does Your Child Play Video Games?

By Eileen Bailey, Health Guide Friday, July 16, 2010

Accrording to CBS News, a recent article in Pediatrics magazine showed a possible link between playing video games for more than 2 hours per day and attention problems in the classroom.

 

According to the article, children that spent more than two hours had more problems with attention than those that spent less time playing video games.

 

My question is:

 

How much time does your child spend playing video games? Have you seen a correlation to more problems paying attention if he (or she) plays more than 2 hours?

 

Looking forward to your replies.
