Good Afternoon!
 
The discussion of video games and how they affect our children is nothing new.  This emotionally-charged topic is often brought up any time a major tragedy involving school-aged kids occurs. However, we must ask ourselves, do we really know enough about how this pastime is really affecting our children?

Rice Psychology Group recently came across a study that may help answer exactly how different video games are affecting different children in different ways. Is it possible that video games can actually be positive for some children? Does the type of video game your kids play make a difference?

In this week's blog post, "To Play or Not To Play: How Different Video Games Are Affecting Our Kids”, we'll discuss this survey and the idea that some video games may be a positive addition to your child's lifestyle. We'll also provide some helpful tips for anyone who may be struggling with the negative effects of gaming on their lives.
