Yeah, so with video games, I think that where the research stands right now is that, unsurprisingly, it depends, right? It depends on who the kids are. Kids are affected in very different ways when they're using video games. It depends on what exactly is happening in those video games. Generally, you know, there was a big concern for a while about violence in video games.

Generally, the research does not support any long-term links between playing violent video games and, you know, violent or aggressive outcomes in the long term. So some of that concern, I think, has been somewhat overblown. That said, I think there's good reason for parents to be aware of the kinds of things that their kids are being exposed to in video games.

Yeah, so I think in terms of the actual technology and the effects, there's nothing specific about a phone or a tablet that's inherently worse than a TV, right? Like it's still a screen that's being watched and that's it. I think practically there are some differences. So with a tablet or a phone, obviously you're not having the same experience of with a TV, you turn it off,

So with a tablet or a phone, obviously you're not having the same experience of with a TV, you turn it off,

and it's off, and that's sort of it. And then you get up and you walk away. With a tablet or a phone, of course, it often comes with you. And so that makes it just a different experience in terms of the ease of putting it away, of stopping to use it. The activities that you do on a phone versus or a tablet versus a TV also sometimes differ.

You know, so you might be using more social media or other apps on a phone versus on a TV. Maybe you're watching more shows.

you know with a with a tv show it tends to have more of a definitive end point right like an episode ends and that's kind of the end versus when you're scrolling on social media it sort of can continue on forever well it's a topic that is the subject of a lot of conversation and concern maybe especially for parents
