Some parents believe that watching TV and playing computer games should be limited and substituted by reading books. Do you agree or disagree ?

Over the past couple of decades, there has been an upward trend in the

time

children spend in front of TV and playing games on a

computer

. A portion of parents is of the opinion that

this

should be limited,

furthermore they

Accept comma addition

furthermore, they

are of a belief that

this

time

should be spent reading books. I am in complete agreement with said recommendation. In recent times, there is a plethora of

computer

games and television shows that are available to children,

moreover

advances in technologies have made it possible for children to play games online as well. These are addictive and children tend to spend a significant amount of times using these media while ignoring everything else. Not only is

such

a behaviour unhealthy, but it

also

limits the social development of children.

For example

, a study in the UK has shown an increase in anti-social tendencies in

such

children.

Besides

, many television shows and

computer

games can affect the outlook of children because they have a higher content of violence and abusive language

.

Accept space

.

Therefore

, parents must limit the kids’ screen

time

. Limiting the

time

a child is allowed to play

computer

games and have them spend it on other modes of entertainment,

such

as reading, is an excellent suggestion. There are several types of books that are available for children to read,

this

can help children in many ways.

For example

, reading a classic can help not only with the vocabulary, but

also

it can help in the classroom.

Also

, reading books of different genres helps in exposing a child to newer interests that they might like to pursue later in life. In conclusion, Limiting television and

computer

games and encouraging children to read, will help in increasing children's knowledge and help them develop into a more balanced person.
