Playing video games are the best entertainment sources now days to kill boredom and children and adults alike play games to interact with the character of the main players or with the villain roles. Then, I hear from the news that surgeons who know to play video games become more efficient in doing their surgical skills than non-players. Then, both children and adults develops cognitive and dexterity in getting good in using their manual skill very fast in hitting the joystick, uses also mind for logical reasoning are some of the positive effects.
However, their are also negative effects as some children who becomes addicted and exposed to violence videos tend to develop aggressive behavior, have poor performance in schools, experience problems related to obesity, have bad postures and develop less social interaction with the outside world.

How about you? Do you believe playing violent video games have effects on the mind of the children? What would you do to prevent children from playing violent video games? Kindly shares your thoughts. Thank you. happy

Everyone could prevent invasion of violent games to be access by children by providing children with other medium of entertainment which is a good fun like they may still play games which involves educational learning rather than buying bad stuffs causing children uninterested to schools. happy

yea think it does have its good and also a bad side like agression,violence,less interaction in the real world and many other, and its good for the concentration,and quick thinking,and can even distract from any mental or physical pain, even myself had played lot of games and am too addicted when i was young but i can it is fun though,yea violence is one thing that promotes in games,but you must understand we as a parent should make them aware of these things are not real and purely fictional,well i dont mind children playing games for a time not above average i mean.


myLot reputation of 82/100. neelianoscet (2036)   ranked 541 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  2 months ago

Hi fireheart,
I believe too playing violent games have bad influences to the mind of the children and also too adults. As what I observe many children becomes addicted to playing games which have violent features which results to then becomes too deeply involves which they tend to lose contacts with the healthy way of playing games involving real players. While playing games makes the children confine to a stationary position lacking exercises and rarely mingle with the outside world. Then, I also read too from other articles that some teenagers develop aggressive behavior and even involves in killing spree in some schools inspired to do it from the violent video games which they often play. Thanks for responding. happy

Yes, i do believe that video games can have an effect on children. Some adults and teens are also effected by these things, especially those that are violent.


myLot reputation of 82/100. neelianoscet (2036)   ranked 541 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  2 months ago

Playing violent videos games in excessive amount of time makes the children to neglect their study as most of their times is devoted in playing. Thus,it would be better if parents or the students guardian keep an eye to their children gaming addiction. If not totally eliminated need to be minimize and the best things to do is to advices children frequently on the benefit and bad effects of playing videos games. Thanks for responding. happy

For most people, expecially for adults, playing video games are the best entertainment sources now days to kill the time.

But when it comes to children, playing the violent video games may bring some serious problems and lead to lots of side effects on the growing up of children. Once the children are in touch with these kinds of games, they may do something following the roles in the games. At the same time, in the surroundings of violent and unhealth, children may tend to initiate violence easily.

For parents, they really need to protect their children getting away from the violent games.




myLot reputation of 82/100. neelianoscet (2036)   ranked 541 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  2 months ago

Hi browser,
Yeah, adults know to control self and select which video games to play. While children could be teach to play only educational learning videos and fun games. While, minimizing access to violent videos games it is now the sole responsibility of the parents. Then from the things which you mention aggressive behavior develop when children get bad influences from the violent video games and becomes disobedience to parents. Thus, parents should be aware of the kind of video games which children play and guide them to select only the good ones thus securing children is safe against the bad influences bring by playing unwanted games which often tackles the criminal world and harsh cyber games.thanks for responding. happy

It could definitely affect the child's behavior if not guided properly by parents. It's hard to deal with children specially if they already got addicted to it. They tend to have their own world and sometimes they act out the characters of the game, then that's the start of violence.

Parents play a major role in guiding their children. I hope parents realize that. One way is to involve kids into sports at a young age and monitor them religiously. Know their company and give good advises.

Happy mylotting. happy

Addiction comes in man forms and mostly comes from influences of mass media and entertainment advertising. Thus, the addiction which many children experience could be a form of curiosity to test one mind to try every things which have to do with technology. Then, the worst kind of addiction which many children are facing right now is the addiction in playing computer/video games. Then, the act of playing is normal and it becomes not alright when the types of games play by children is full of violent scenes just like in movies.But, in playing video games the child is repetitively expose thus retaining some manners which one get through playing.

Some children becomes disobedient and would not eat on time, skip classes, then become too obsessed that they tend to forget to interact with the social world outside, which is not a good things. It is really disturbing what I heard from a news that a group of teenagers make a killing spree having been inspired by the violent videos games they been playing then put it in reality. Thus, if the child is not mature enough,he tend to get those aggressive behavior in case the parents is unable to explain to them the differences between play and reality. thankshappy

Hi neelianoscet, Everything has both positive and negative aspects to it and violent video games will no doubt cause problems for some young people. I think however, that we can trust the majority to know the difference between games and reality. In regard to younger children, I think it's important for parents to monitor the amount of time they spend playing games and see that they develop an interest in other activities as well. Blessings.

Mature adults know to control self and not just by playing violent videos games but also some adult sites if they would screen all the video games being play by kids they would be able to protect the mind of kids not to imitate what they see. Thus, it is also important that access to those kinds of videos are eliminated if not totally banned but should be under moderation. Yeah,it is also good to brief children about the good and bad sides of playing videos games so that they would know to avoid the bad fun. Thanks for responding. happy

[em]happy[/hello neelia,

Yes i completely believed in that, this is why a lot of friends are violent verbally and physically. i remember one time we lost internet connection and i went to computer shop to mylot for only two hours. i kept hearing kids and other youngsters saying a lot of bad words but not because of insult but because they lost or disappointed when playing, with that i didn't finish my alloted time and went home. i couldn't bare myself hearing those kids saying bad words. sadsad


myLot reputation of 82/100. neelianoscet (2036)   ranked 541 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  2 months ago

hi letranknight,
Yeah, I experience it too and most children are very good in using computer and even play those high past faced video games which of course have violent scenes. The children now days are very smart and the manner games could be play even alone without the presence of playing games with another playmate. Thus, many children becomes obese and get an eye problem. I also have a nephew that is addicted in playing video games and never like to be disturb if i talk to him to stop. He would yell at me and sometimes act like a bully. Thus, many kids if not properly guided or monitor becomes violent too with their behavior, lose some respect to the elderly.
Thanks for responding. happy

The same goes for other forms of entertainment like movies and music. Most of the music videos are for adults. Even the lyrics are for adults. Like movies most of the video games also come with parental rating like 15+ etc. So as a parent you can choose which game to buy for your child. Besides there are many games meant for kids.


myLot reputation of 82/100. neelianoscet (2036)   ranked 541 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  2 months ago

Many forms of media and entertainment gadgets and products which are out in the markets sounds very interesting not only to children but also to adults. Even though the parents could control the manner of video games play by children their are still many problem which exist and most parents could not control it like when children are playing in internet shop, even during or after classes.

They spend a lot of their allowance to play videos games and they are not friendly games at all. Even me I really wonder too, the children becoming smarter now days even me have to catch behind as I myself never know to play those games. Children find it attractive, especially those involving violent games like shooting, attacks with even bloody encounter, Thus, many children becomes aggressive and if not properly monitor may imitate what they play on video games. Thanks for responding. happy

yes I do think kids get to addictaed to these games and I would put a block on any kind of these game played in my house.
I dont play them never saw apoint to it getting points for shoting cops or bystanders


myLot reputation of 82/100. neelianoscet (2036)   ranked 541 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  2 months ago

hi lakota,
That is right as you only implement it in your house to censored the types of video games play in order to protect children mind. Thus, have to advise them to keep away as too much playing video games makes children prone to do violence which hard to control this habit of liking when they already becomes adults. So it is only alright as earlier as possible to keep those violent stuffs away from children and instead encourages them to be involves in mind boggling activity which sharpen their intelligence rather than playing those violent games. Thanks for responding. happy

Children will have bad behavior, individualistic means never social interaction with somebody and of course every parents don't want their children have bad mental, loss control, etc..

I think it will be going good if children playing the game for their rate.


myLot reputation of 82/100. neelianoscet (2036)   ranked 541 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  2 months ago

I notice too a lot of children are fond of playing computer games losing interest to play outdoors like sports and confine in a solitary room like in a home or with groups in internet cafe playing those violent videos games they get satisfaction from it when they were able to shoot or kill the villain and although it is anime. Some look like real with a lot of blood shed which is not good for children to be expose on it as they may imitate it. Thus parental guidance is needed to put restriction or stoping access of children to those violent video games. Thanks for responding. happy
