i totally agree with this. nearly all of the kids i know that have problems with their behaviour/communication/intellect etc all seem to spend hours upon hours on the playstation/gameboy etc. my children both play on play stations and other computer games but they have a time limit.
at the moment they are both outside playing football in the street with the kids next door.
there has to be a balance and parents have to realise that they need to spend more time with their children rather than taking the easy option of sticking them in front of the t.v or play staion all day!
