These days
computer
games
 are very popular among all people, in specifics
children
, but
parents
 argue that has little educational value and it will be harmful to
children
.
Although
 I disagree with
this
 idea, there are a few bad aspects of
computer
games
 that I think
parents
 should care about. On the one hand, the
computer
 game is a hobby for
children
 and there is no need for a hobby to be educational.
Children
 need some time to spend on entertaining themselves.
Computer
games
 are one of the most entertaining hobbies today,
therefore
parents
 should not be too restrictive on playing of their
children
, Beside that there are plenty of educational
games
 that tries to teach
children
 lessons
such
 as math, a foreign language or social etiquette.
Parents
 can encourage their
children
 to play these type of
games
 more.
On the other hand
,
parents
 have to be concern about
children
’s addiction to
computer
games
.
Children
 get addicted to
computer
games
 easily.
Parents
 should control how much
children
 play video
games
 and what
games
 they play. Many popular
games
 are action
games
 in which the characters need to fight or kill others,
this
 can harm them and may cause mental issues in
children
. Fortunately, game companies specify the age limitation on their products, and
parents
 must control them. In Conclusion, It is not necessary that a hobby,
such
 as
computer
games
, be educational, but there are some things,
such
 as gaming, that
parents
 need to be concern about.
