response to Parents warned of risks to TV-watching kidsR
I was really glad to find this article. because I Had been finding a lot of articles that said video games are the worst things that can happen to a kid. But finally i found some controversy. it says that watching t.v is worse for your kid. This adds to my topic with more controversy about which is worse. It also deepens my knowledge by giving me one side of the story. I well be looking next week for an article that says that video games are worse for kids. I will be looking for more articles by Craig Anderson, but other then that I will just look and hope for the best.
Parents warned of risks to TV-watching kids
- A THIRD of three- to four-year-olds watch more than nine hours of television a week, with more than half those children regularly turning it on themselves.
- 80 per cent of preschoolers watch television while eating meals at least
- "Some of the concerns from those other studies have been elevated anxiety, fear, aggression and hyperactivity. Parents are so much busier these days, but they need to try and create opportunities for their children so time in front of the television is balanced with reading to them and playing active games."
- The LSAC research also examined the use of computers for another group of 5000 children aged seven to eight, finding nine out of 10 had access to a computer at home and 10 per cent had one in their bedroom.

Luca, I am really impressed with the research you have done so far. Your idea to start looking at individual games is great. I think it would be even better if you compare those games, looking at the levels of violence. Then later comparing the users of those games, and see which ones seem more violent and aggressive in their life. I am interested to see how your blog turns out, and what you are going to find.
Alex's Second Response
I think the information you are finding is very useful and interesting and I also liked your detailed responses. I also liked how you voiced your opinions in many of the responses. I think you should try the opposing viewpoints database because it has helped me with some of my controvercial topics. Keep up the good work.
