Please click on the below link and read the Focus on the Family article regarding letting children play video games. I am not an advocate for video games, because of how addicting they can become. I know that some games are educational, and I believe that if allotted a certain amount of time, it is okay. However, I am conservative when it comes to playtime and having an imagination, so I am all about playtime being indoors without the T.V. on, or outside--weather permitting, of course.
Please share with me your thoughts about video games.
