Why Kids Shouldn't Have Video Games

I was home with the boys on Monday and after two short shows, turned the television off for play time. Drew wanted to play the Wii after an hour or so and I reluctantly agreed. He usually plays for all of 10 minutes before getting distracted and moving on to something else. He was playing this game called "Wii Play" where you work up to the final game by earning it. You have to master several other games and the end is a tank game (Drew is pretty entertained by 'Army' stuff). He couldn't get past a couple levels and I assisted. Finally he made it to the tank game.

Then I hear the wailing. I go in and he is in tears. "Why does the computer hate me?!?!" "It keeps shooting my tank..." (complete sobbing).

I turned the television back on and let them watch a Litte Bear to calm down.
