I am NOT saying that our kids shouldn't play video games, text message, etc. They are NOT evil. What I am saying is this; when you were their age, did you honestly know what was best for you? I didn't. So I ask, can you perhaps consider limiting the exposure to these isolating things?
Please consider your child's social well being as well as their general adjustment to the demands of the world. He or she needs more of an education than video games can offer. (You might also want to read "ADD: The 20-Hour Solution" by Steinberg and Othmer).
