Computer games have often come under the spotlight in relation to kids. The main concern usually being that too much time spent in front of the TV will result in children not getting the exercise they need and therefore becoming fat or obese. Recently however computer games have been scrutinised for different reasons. This time it’s felt that late nights spent playing computer games will result in children that are too tired to work whilst at school.
