SCREEN TIME VS. ONE-ON-ONE TIME
Video games have long since been a subject of debate when it comes to children. For a long time, many believed that violent video games caused aggression in children. However, studies didn’t initially back that theory up. But last summer, CBS News reported on a new study published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology which revealed that violent video games “desensitized players to violent imagery.” “And of course, we want our children show empathy and compassion when exposed to violence, not apathy. In addition, CBS reported that “The American Psychological Association points to several studies linking video game violence to fighting at school and even to violent criminal behavior, such as assault or robbery.”
