Young Children and Video Games

Yes I've seen this and it is actually sad. You can tell the kids that have been sat down in front of tv's or video games. Their speech isn't as clear as other children that have parents that spend time with them or children that are made to use their imaginations to entertain themselves. I have grand kids that I can tell they are baby sat with the TV. You can hardly understand what they are saying when they want something or if they talk to you and yes at 3 they should be able to link words together and speak clearly. Their mom and dad play video games as well and well you know in the games for adults some of the words little kids should not be saying and well have had to talk to them about the little ones have potty mouthes. When we had my step daughters when they were younger am sure they weren't to happy because they didn't get to play a lot of video games or watch a lot of tv. See in one of your discussions you mention have we hidden or loose our imaginations this is where we need to use it. We need to use it or wake it back up to entertain our kids and get them movin away from the games and tv's.

I think that it's the parents' prerogative to raise their children how they see fit. Instead of complaining about what other parents do, why don't you worry about your own children, if you have them, and avoid doing this if you don't like it? I am a hardcore gamer, and so if my children in the future (if I ever have them) want to game too, they'll be welcome too, so long as they aren't doing it every second of the day.

Yes. Indeed. My sister is doing it where her sons play playstation and computer games while she does her own house chores. They eyesight got worsened and they do not have many friends compare to last time where kids gather around and play REAL games. We realised it is really unhealthy and bad because they are addicted to it everyday. So we brought them to badminton and swimming classes, they seems to have more balance lifestyle now then just playing games
