IOWA STATE (US)—Parents looking to get their kid’s attention—or keep them focused at home and in the classroom—should try to limit their television viewing and video game play.
Elementary school-age and college-age participants who exceed two hours per day of screen time are as much as twice as likely to be above average in attention problems.
I have tried this with my kids and its absolutely true, beware that gaming consoles have twice the bad effect on attention compared to TV program viewing
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. I have been concerned as well by the hold that such games have on my kids--just watching them try and breakaway from gaming is fascinating, or perhaps alarming is a better word!
