Nowadays, children watch a lot of TV and play video games. However, some people think that activities are not good for a child’s mental health. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Children

spend too much time watching television and playing

games

on the

internet

. Some people believe that these kinds of activities have an adverse impact on their brains. I completely agree with

this

statement because TV or computer can leads to a sedentary lifestyle and depression in

children

. The Overconsumption of gadgets like smartphones, laptops or computers can make

children

lazy and unhealthy.

This

is because staring for several hours on the screen means no other body movement, which means they do not play outdoor

games

that are indispensable for mental development.

As a result

, it can give rise to various health-related problems.

For instance

, According to the survey done by a newspaper ‘Times of India’,

children

who spend maximum time on the

internet

have less intellectual skills compares to those who play outdoor

games

,

hence

it can cause impaired brain development. Sitting in front of computers for a long time can cause depression, loneliness and mental sickness as in some video

games

, the contents are sensitive enough to make suicidal thoughts in

children

's minds.

This

is because when

children

see their favourite characters are fighting in the game, they try to intimate them.

For example

, many teenagers jumped from the roof after playing ‘the World of Warcraft’ game on the

internet

.

Therefore

, I believe that the overconsumption of video

games

is dangerous for their health, so electronic devices should be used in moderation. In conclusion, overconsumption of the

internet

is not a good idea because it has a negative effect on

children

's mental health

also

prevents them from getting enough exercise and they should

therefore

only be used sparingly.
