Millions of kids love video games, especially
boys. Our national survey revealed that 92% of
kids age 2-17 play regularly. That translates
into 59 million young players. The overwhelming
majority of these kids play their video games,
do their homework, keep up their responsibilities,
and have other interests. No problem. So it’s
clear that video and computer games are not inherently
bad for kids.
Some kids, however, get hooked. Computer game
addiction is real and growing. Our
research shows that almost one out of seven game
players shows signs of an addiction. If
you think that you, or your child are struggling
with video game addiction seek professional
help.
