Explore alternatives to video games
I have twin grandsons who have a birthday coming up. I am afraid to ask them what they want, because I am afraid they will ask for a video game. I have heard that playing video games can make children more aggressive and they are aggressive enough already. They also got a video game for Christmas and already spend too much time playing it. Do you have any suggestions for toys for preschool boys that will be good for their development and not make them any more aggressive than they already are-May 02, 2007
