Kids these days are absorbed by the video game phenomenon. And while you may think that it helps your kid pass the time, it also runs a certain risk for them. Normally, kids their age play outside, using their imagination to go to lands of fantasy as they play with their friends. But why do those in this day and age, when you can sit down and let a console do the imagining for you? This is the problem that comes with computer gaming.
Now, don't get me wrong; I am an avid gamer myself, and I see the benefits that playing computer games can bring. But at the same time, I must impress upon my fellow parents that your kid should not be solely exposed to games, for it will dull their imagination. Put an hourly limit as to how long they could play. And at the same time, make sure that they have other past-times that stimulate their imagination to the fullest.
An activity you can try inspiring them to pick up on the art of making crafts. When one has a seperate hobby that does not rely on technology, you can help instill a down-to-earth attitude in them. And while you're at it, why don't you try to do it yourself? You will find that you're spending time with your kid, and having fun at the same time.
If your kid has been exposed to unlimited game time, they may naturally be adverse to the idea of limited play time. Don't be alarmed, as this is just natural. Stand firm, but be reasonable, and adjust their hours as you see fit.
How about using the characters in your child's video game to inspire him or her to take up crafts? There are a lot of ideas you can do. For example, how about carving a dragon from a fantasy game? Or using paper to make a favorite video game hero come to life? There are tons more idea and they'll be more receptive when you put it this way. - 16890
