Playing video games for more than 2 hours a day is now linked to ADHD.
Children who spend too many hours watching TV or playing online video games seem unable to focus in school, according to a new 13 month study done by the Iowa State University in which researchers analyzed screen time and attention problems for both elementary school kids and college students.
Co-author Douglas Gentile says that attention problems in the classroom got worse in relation to how much time kids spent in front of the TV or playing video games.
This study also indicated that kids who exceed the recommended two hours of daily screen time per day are twice as likely to have attention deficit.
