Does video games help or harm chlidren

Yes, but on a time limit. 20-30 min in the evening. You will have to coax whoever is on the video game off (those things get addictive). It's OK if ? (the person) wants to, but you can't form a need or ? will go and sneak his computer under his bed and start playing , or go off when you're not looking. You need to limit, and get ? to accept the limitation. If ? starts complaining, maybe you're to tight. If ? gets lazy , pull on the reigns. Key is regulation.
