Video Games and Exercise? (TMB85)

ByDr. Berney

Video Games and Exercise? (TMB85)

Some of the most common questions we get from parents of children and adolescents are all about video games. How long should I allow my child to play? What kind of games are OK for my child? Why can he play video games for so long, but cannot work on his homework for 15 minutes at a time? Can anything good come out of playing video games?

In this podcast, Dr. Berney talks about some of the positive aspects of games and how Pokémon Go is doing what no game has done before… It’s getting our kids to go outside!
