Plus there are 9,000 other things that contribute to a kids behavior.
But I dont think video games cause most of it.

Do I think they contribute? I answered yes. However, I believe, like most of you that it is all in the parenting... Everything contributes to bad behavior.

I think that the violence on the games contributes to the acceptance of violence, or at least becoming de-sensitized to the effects and implications of the violence. However, there is no substitute for proper parenting.

My Mom would have said the exact same thing. I was raised by a single Mom(and a few uncles) from the age of 10 and I saw that being a single Mom was not easy. You are always having to play both the fatherly role as well as the motherly role, and at times I know it can feel as if you never get to be the good guy.Originally posted by Y2KHAWKKids need to know what the real world is like not the fairy tale. Parents can only protect a child so long. JMTC
But boys raised by single Moms have a unique advantage , they learn to appreciate and respect women much much more, and they turn out smarter and better looking of course!
"Sheltering" children is the worst possible thing a parent can do. It is physically impossible to look over a child's shoulder every minute of evey day. You can be assured that they will discover the reailty of the world with or without their parents. Parents have a responsibility, not an option, to allow their children to learn the reailty of this world, and what an amazing way to develop on lifelong bond. Video games are merely a reflection of the reallity of today's world. 99% of kids realize this, and 99% of kids are smart enough to separate games from reality.Comment
