Video games are not all bad...Right?

Maybe video games are not all bad...In moderation...If you are diligent in searching for a benefit.

I sat by Thing1 while he played his DS the other day and told him to practice having a good attitude even when he "died" and got the "Game Over" message.

After a few good rounds, he started relapsing then caught himself and exhaled loudly.

He immediately looked up and forced a smile.  "All I did was blow out air."

We'll keep working on this.

Good attitude practice can be found anywhere...even in a video game.
