Kids Who Play Video Games Are Happier And More Social
We often hear about the evils of video games - how they make our kids anti social zombies. But a new study has found that kids who play video games are happier and more social. Wait...what?
Yeah - pretty much everything we've been told about gamers is a lie. Sort of.
The study does make it clear that this applies to kids who play in moderation - like one hour a day. Not five hours.
So good news - you really are a good parent by entering to win the Summer Survival Kit!
Also - cheating is essential to video game playing...so I taught my son how to cheat on the old Nintendo 64 gaming system. It's a life skill he now possesses.
