MediaWise ® Network launches new

The research is in.

Video Game Addiction
Helping parents understand gaming addiction.
We know that most kids play video games, do well in school, and have great groups of friends. Others, however, get hooked on games. The new MediaWise Network Parent Guide to Video Game Addiction will help you understand the signs and symptoms of addiction. The guide contains the MediaWise Video Game Addiction Survey™ and the innovative “I’d Rather” test to help parents understand if video games are creating problems for their kids.
