Before anyone in my home plays a video game my husband or myself turn it on first to see if it is safe enough for the kids to play. We are very strict in this manner and even though we have teens they are still restricted to what they can play.

I don't think video games are necessarily bad as long as the parents provide adequate supervision. It is important to determine the length of time that you allow your child to play and the games that they are allowed to play. When my kids were younger they did play a few select video games which were mostly learning games. Now that they are a little older they prefer the sports games. They know they are never allowed to play mature games or violent games.
