..."the primary thing that you can do is to make sure your kids get a good night's sleep. And, that means turning that stuff off and taking it out of their life, and don't let them go to bed with those fight or flight hormones flooding through their body. Control the video games that they're playing and the movies that they're watching, and make sure they're getting enough sleep. It is so essential."

--Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, Director of Grossman on Truth LLC
