Well i have heard many peoples saying that games spoil the childs study. According to them a child who is allowed to play games is always busy with games and can not concentrate on studies. But according to me games are a good source of shaping a childs brain and they provide a good source of entertainment. So its just study with fun. What do u think? Do they ruin one's school life?

i think it depends on the amount of time a child is allowed to play a game....some computer games etc are educational too which can help. it also allows the child to have a break from study. as long as it is in moderation (if they arent educational games) then there can be a balance...maybe telling the child they can play the games after a certain amount of homework is done...

I think it depends on how much time a child play games instead of studying... It would be better if a child is allowed to play games after he is finished with his homework or if he can only play during friday night, and saturday.

no, i think games are really important for chidren. games keep them sharp and they understand strategies and logic... they become wise. they become active, keeps them healthy. unless you say they dont study at all then that's another issue but games are good for a childs psyche and physique and health and mind.

If it is computer game it may affect their studies. But other games i don't think. It should not be just studie for a child. They should also get involved in some games or sports activity. Even every doctors recommend that. Only then their would be an overall development in a child. But many parents forget all these things. But it should not be just games. Parents should set some time limit for each activities of their child.
