In my opinion it has both pros and cons... + it increases the human activity + minds sharpens + responses become faster and accurate - eye problems - always getting inclined to play video games,not showing interest in others - no physical movement,hence unusual weight gain Its is better to regulate the time these kids are spending playing the video games,otherwise they might get addicted to them.Daily 1/2 an hour is okay.

Any video game player knows that half of an hour is never enough. I don't see why there is so much gripe towards video games and playtime. Parents think its OK to sit down and watch a movie for 2 hours but playing video games for over 30 minutes is too much?

I think that playing games can be good for children because it can make them a little more creative. However, if they spend too much time on their computer, then they won't be getting enough exercise and that can make them unhealthy. One of the reasons that so many children are obese these days is because they spend too much time playing games and not enough time exercising. So, by all means, let your child play on games, but make sure that you put a limit on the time they can spend on it or they might end up overweight.
