Take away the mustache and rename him Jim, and everyone would change their scores to 9's.

I work with kids (specifically developmentally delayed kids and kids with autism), and I have to say, other than a lot of kids with Autism liking Mario and Minecraft, I'm not seeing much of concern with kids and videogames. Kids and tablets though? I'm starting to think they cause delays. I mean that literally. You only have to see it in so many cases before you wonder what part is the chicken and what part is the egg.

Yeah, I can not stand parents that shove an iPad in front of their kids’ faces to keep them quiet anytime they are fussy or bored. I had a family member that had his son addicted to a tablet before he was 2 years old.
My issue is that young kids are still developing a concept for concrete awareness and to expose them to something as abstract as video games before they’re developmentally ready is not healthy. There are PLENTY of other ways to keep them busy and help them learn and grow besides TV and video games. But they take more of an effort on the parents part.
I personally wouldn’t let them play until age 7 or so depending on the kid. And after that, I think it should be restricted in order to prevent it from becoming their primary form of entertainment.
