When you were a kid did you love video games? If the answer is yes, continue to read. Many people believe that playing video games is harmful for young children if you think anything like me, you would think otherwise. playing video games can be educational, enjoyable, and a great source for exercise.
Video games that are educational are great for young children. It teaches them skill while keeping them entertained. Leap Frog, The Typing Game, Shapes and Colors, etc., are all great games for young children to play and learn from. Most people would disagree with my reason that video games can teach young children skills and keep them entertained simultaneously. I look at it as more education out of school and a great time for young children.
Not only are they educationally entertaining they are also enjoyable just for fun as well. It doesnt always have to be about education kids need to have thier free time too. Video games like , Just Dance, Bowling, Soccor, Tennis, Baseball, Basketball, etc., are all a joy to play. Kids are 70% all about having fun so, parents should really look at this as a safer alternative. The world is not as safe as it useto be, and given the fact that kids love to have fun parents don't really like for their kids to play outside. What would you rather do put your child in possible danger, or let your child have fun in doors. You think about that for a while.
Exercise is another reason why video games are not harmful to young children. Games like Dance Revolution, Tennis, Birdy,Wii, etc., are all games that get young children moving around. Its important for children to exercise so that they can stay healthy and fit. Nowadys kids dont get enough exercise so they start to get overweight. No parent shoud ever want a unhealthy and unfit child, thats not fair for either parties. Do you want your kid to be overweight and lazy? Of course you don't because if you did, well my friend, you are a horrible person! Exercise video games are a awesome way for kids to have fun and work out.
In Conclusion, that is why I think video games are not harmful to young children. Keep in mind that the children are the world, they are future, they are the ones that make a brighter day so lets keep them smart, entertained, and healthy. So the next time you happen to run across a parent that thinks video games is harmful for young children politely tell them to zip it and read this blog piece under "They Like Crickets To Me".
