Funny, but true. I personally am careful of video games, but the issue may be she is tired. My daughter reacts similarly whenever I let her play on the computer for more than about a 1/2 hour at the time. The computer games are instructional, but have the same result. I think they just get tired or overstimulated and then have a tough time coming back to reality. I do not, however, have this issue when she plays Dance Dance Revolution. Maybe the physical stimulation helps. Good luck! In general violence in gaming and tv watching effects boys behavior more than girls. Funny, but true.
