Many parents worry about their child, who sits out all the evenings playing computer games. There is an opinion that games harm the psyche and form aggressive behavior. But is it?
According to opinion polls, more than 70% of modern adolescents regularly play computer games. Parents are sure that such a hobby for their child slows down social development, interferes with learning, and most importantly, provokes cruelty and aggression. However, studies by Western experts do not confirm this relationship.
Plunging into the virtual world, the teenager is well aware that the opponents are drawn. Such games will not teach a student to kill for real.
Aggressive behavior in everyday life usually appears due to the dysfunction of the inner world, so it is necessary to think first of all about what is going on in the child's soul.
Some games may even be useful. They are able to develop teamwork, analytical and even social skills, as well as broaden their horizons.
Parents should agree with the child about the time that he will spend at the computer. But before starting the game, the teenager must complete his chores and homework. It is not worth limiting the child in games at all, since such an effect will only increase the attractiveness of the computer.
You should also pay attention to the age restrictions for a particular game.
