One question that I noticed you didn't specifically address in your research is at what age do most kids start playing video games. The first source I found talks about the age that kids SHOULD start playing video games, and the second source talks about what age most kids start playing video games. The first article pretty much is all opinion, but it has some great ideas to back up you research. The second article is packed with facts, and I suspect it will be very informational.

Good Luck! Amy
