Are Video games hurting your child’s social skills?

Playing video games doesn’t seem to have much impact on the social skills of male children, but it does seem to have an effect on girls. Researchers in Norway found that there doesn’t seem to be a correlation between time spent gaming and failing social skills in boys. However, girls who game tend to have poorer social skills two years later than girls who don’t game. The study found that boys tend to gather in groups to play, while girls are more likely to play solo.
