Nowadays, the majority of children spend their lecture time playing computer games and less time on sports. I strongly believe that these amenities can create only negative impacts on children’s development and in this essay aims to clarify the possible causes and how these can negatively impact children’s development.
On the one hand, in the modern era, a lot of children really enjoy playing online games. This is because technology has improved in the last decade and it interested the young generation to play with realism. For example, today researchers created games in VR glasses with 100% realism and 100% connection with games and often in games like this you can be anyone that interested young people to play. As a result, it is preferable to play games like this for children instead of exercising.
On the other hand, playing computer games negatively influences children’s development because it creates an unhealthy lifestyle that leads to several physical and mental health issues in children, such as obesity, vision-related problems, social isolation, lack of concentration, anxiety, poor academic performance, and so on. Apart from that, it leads to violent, illegal activities. The majority of children in juvenile homes have attempted crimes due to addiction to computer games.
In conclusion, today many children spend a lot of time playing video games and little time on sports, mainly due to the influence of modern games with attractive features. I strongly believe that playing games leads to a negative impact on children’s physical and mental development.
