Child plays computer games: experts tell when parents should worry about this
14.11.2023 20:47
Some parents have a negative attitude towards computer games from the start: adults believe that it is a waste of time at best.
This type of entertainment also has a not entirely positive reputation.
Sometimes there are reports that this form of leisure provokes not the best qualities in a child. However, there is no need to worry always. Sometimes games can have an educational effect and improve some cognitive functions.
When should you not allow your child to play?
It takes a lot of time
Even if you take into account the educational element of computer games, you shouldn't spend a lot of time playing them.
This is detrimental to studies, sports and extracurricular activities. Experts also note that it has a negative impact on posture and vision.
The game is not age appropriate for the child
There is a reason why there are age restrictions on game packages. If you don't want your children to encounter things that they are not supposed to by age, then don't buy "adult" games.
You can also read reviews about this game or even watch a review if you have any doubts.
Not the best community
If we are talking about online games or games with a developed community, then you need to pay attention to the child's communication. Even in games, children can find friends that you are unlikely to approve of.
And such people may not have the most positive influence on the child.
