We receive many questions about video games on this blog, which is why this recent study about the impact of these games upon youth caught my attention. I believe it will be of interest to anyone who has a loved one who is addicted to video gaming.

Commentary by Susan Brinkmann, OCDSWell, it's December 21, 2012, the day many believe the world will end along with the Mayan calendar.

Recently we noticed that several boys in our homeschooling group play with Pokemon and have dozens of card files of these characters . . . . I read your blog post about Pokemon and agree.
