isolated. Also, he may spend less time in other activities such as doing homework,
reading, sports, and interacting with the family and friends. Games can confuse
reality and fantasy.

tabs and phones are bad for health.
Some video games teach kids the wrong values. Violent behavior, vengeance and
aggression are rewarded. Long hours of video gaming can have deteriorating
