Today children spend a lot of time playing computer games and less time on sports. Why is this? Is it a positive or a negative development?
The

Change to a genitive case
hour's
hours'
children
playing physically has reduced quite a lot recently and spending on indoors has raised.Lack of outdoor facilities and easy accessibilities to mobile phones are the reasons behind this
and it can not consider as a good development
.
One of the main reasons that make children
have less time
in sports is that the unavailability of safe and comfortable playgrounds.That means ,due to urbanisation and modernization most of the open spaces were utilised for construction and the only available lands are not safe for children
because of the increased crime rate and heavy traffic.Therefore
parents encourage their offsprings to stay inside the home and children
mostly prefer to play computer games
.Furthermore
,mobile phones and computers are very common these days and both parents are working .As a result
,parents could not get sufficient time
to spend for children
and probably, they will be turned to games
on the screens.For example
,my daughter plays on the computer for more than 6 hours a day as me and my husband is working.
The practice of spending more free time
on computers is detrimental for children
.Firstly
,when there is less physical activity,the growth and development
of a child will be impaired and there will be health consequences.To explain further
,for growth of the skeletal system and development
of the motor skills
child should be physically active.In addition
,sedentary life causes obesity that leads to other healths issues.Secondly
,spending more time
on video games
,makes children
socially inactive.In other words
,while playing on screens ,chances to meet and interact with others are less thereby less communication and social skills
.This
would negatively affect their future where these skills
are essential to be a successful adult.
To conclude,the increasing trend of children
spending their time
on virtual games
is a negative development
because it compromises their social skills
and health.Submitted by nicymathew91 on
