The article doesn't really say much more then teens are playing a lot of games with some of them being 'over' their heads.  Lol.  Reminds me of a conversation with my sister's husband last Sunday.  We offered to pass along some old computer games to my nephew.  His father said, "Only if they don't have adult content."  Gee, like we buy 'adult content' for our ten year old or like he would even have an interest in 'adult content'.  And what qualifies 'adult content' anyway?  Since my 10yo just passed the CPT assessment (he took it for fun since his sister was taking it, too), does that mean he shouldn't read books at his 'learning level' because he is only ten?  I would have a very unhappy kid if I told him to stay on his 'age level', lol.  He loves everything that goes in depth about animal biology.

well drat. The article that linked to that article talked about how in
video games like SIM city that being a mayor teaches kids WAY more about
civics than they could ever learn from a text book etc...I'm swamped today
with stuff with the kids (Morgan age 4) just got a doll house and we have
some SERIOUS pretending to do! Or I'd dig deeper. PFFT...sorry to forward
something that wasn't worth it.
