Rumors of the dangers of video games are vastly exaggerated.
101 studies, 106k kids & teens: video games have negligible impact on grades, depression, attention, aggression.
Only 3.1% show problematic behaviors—which are more likely symptoms of mental health issues than causes.
Instead of telling kids not to play video games, adults should play too.
Compared to kids who don’t play, those who play 3 hrs/day have better working memory & impulse control. Experiments show cognitive benefits for adults too.
Video games are a form of exercise for the brain.

There’s a fine line between persistence and obstinance.
Persistence is refusing to give up on a difficult goal. Obstinance is refusing to consider a different path.
Grit is not about banging your head against a brick wall. It's about looking for a way around the wall.
If you don't have all the facts yet, you shouldn't have a strong opinion yet.
Motivated reasoning is believing what you want to be true. Critical thinking depends on wanting to believe whatever ends up being true.
A key to learning is refusing to let your hopes bias your views.
If you told me a week ago that going to work Sat after a packed M-F would result in one of the best PDs I’ve had I would have responded in my own cynical way. Looks like jokes on me cause I can’t think of a better group of people to be with. @Think_Collab #acsabudhabi#ACSlearns
Many arguments get heated not because our opinions clash, but because we fail to show that we care.
In conflict, the most important step isn't to defend your position. It's to reinforce your relationship.
It's easier to accept that you're not like-minded if you're like-hearted.
Repeat after me: good communication requires repetition.
Data: leaders are 9x more likely to be criticized for undercommunicating than overcommunicating. Those who say too little come across as unclear and uncaring.
When you're tired of your message, it's just starting to land.
