If a teen isn't doing one thing, it's another.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I found all these very interesting. Yeah, I also found one on violent video games and the effect on level of emotional arousal and executive function.<BR/><BR/>Looks like many of those links were about studies at the same university . . . are there any professional journals with papers with the results, findings, conclusions, questions, info, or whatnot on the study(ies?) Cause that'd be interesting.<BR/><BR/>Sorry! Just sending a virtual hug if that's appropo to Dinah, cause I hate the whole mother-guilt thing. Even though I have alot of it. Lol.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and cool thing about Dr. A. awarding you that. Interested to see who you guys will award it to!<BR/><BR/>Also curious what your answers to a meme I posted today would be, but I didn't tag you because I didn't want to be a bother (hope Dr. A doesn't think I'm a bother, either!)<BR/><BR/>Sara (sorry so long!)Sarebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208596053319110470noreply@blogger.com
