Some people believe that the time spent on television, video and computer games can be valuable for children. Others believe this may have negative effects on a child's development. Discuss both of these views and give your own opinion.

In recent years, there has been a profound increase in the number of people questioning whether the time

children

spend on their electronics can be beneficial for their intellectual growth.

On the other hand

, many people believe that excessive usage of technology can be detrimental.

However

, critics, myself included, are of strong belief that moderate screen time can be valuable for juveniles.

To begin

, there is an argument to be made that the increased time

children

spend watching television and playing video games can stymie their growth and development in a number of ways. To illustrate

this

point, kids require a certain amount of physical interaction with other youths of the same age group to acquire a specific level of social skills.

For

this

reason, it is evident that there should be a schedule in place for schoolchildren to obtain interpersonal skills to a certain degree. What is more, unrestrained hours spent on

such

gadgets can impair their sleep and inevitably, their cognitive functioning.

This

being the case, it is not unreasonable to assume that the extent to which

children

spend using electronics can determine the after-effect. Despite the previously stated argument, there are immense benefits to using screens as a tool for learning in young

children

.

For instance

, early reading and promoting family relationships is the cornerstone of healthy brain development.

Furthermore

, technology offers many applications to foster proper speech through singing and storytelling,

as well as

providing several platforms for literacy

due to

the advanced access to electronic books.

Moreover

, choosing high-quality applications helps kids fully engage in their education.

To conclude

from the aforementioned discussion,

while

some are under the impression that screens are harmful to juvenile development, others, myself included, would strongly argue that technological resources used for educational purposes are instrumental for learning. From my perspective, a refined timetable for the usage of electronic devices would enhance intellectual growth in today’s youth.
