The possible negative impact of computer games on a child is known to everyone, so parents sometimes take extreme measures: they completely prohibit this type of leisure.
They can be understood.
This suggests that parents are trying to take maximum care of their children and protect them from potential negative influences.
But such prohibitions are not always justified.
Why you should still allow your child to spend time playing computer games
Everything that is forbidden becomes much more interesting.
Experts remind that this rule applies equally to both children and adults. As soon as something is prohibited, this activity becomes more desirable and attractive.
Therefore, it is better to simply set time limits for this form of recreation than to prohibit it completely.
Not all games are bad
You may be surprised, but there are quite intellectual computer games that have a positive effect on the development of cognitive functions of the brain.
You just need to evaluate the game yourself first, and then offer it to your child.
