Are video games good for children

They aren't necassarily unhealthy. Too much of any video games or TV can be unhealthy TO ANYONE if they don't exercise and don't eat right. Since snacks and TV go together for most people., don't do that! It's bad for your body, and you're not burning any calories by sitting on the couch and eating chips or something. Try to limit video game/TV/computer time. ---------- Video games can be educational, let you work out, etc. Just look up the Nintendo Wii & PlaySkool games that teach you about the alphabet/ride a tricycle while while playing/etc. They get you to work with others, ask for help, wisely use virtual money, build/control/prepare for/etc things, solve puzzles/problems/etc, do simple everyday math, etc.
